Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Flour tortillas (small, 6-inch)
- 1.5 cups Cooked ham (deli slices, finely chopped)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 pieces Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 0.5 cup Salsa (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine chopped ham, shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, sliced green onions, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Lay out one flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the ham and cheese mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Spread it slightly into a horizontal line but stay clear of the edges.
Tightly roll the tortilla around the filling to form a taquito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). To test, drop a small piece of tortilla into the oil — it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully place 3-4 taquitos seam-side down into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to rotate them for even cooking.
Remove the cooked taquitos and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining taquitos.
Serve immediately with sour cream and salsa on the side, if desired.
