Chicken Taquitos with an Avocado Salsa Recipe

Name: Chicken Taquitos with an Avocado Salsa
Total time: 35 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients: 16 corn tortillas; 1.25 lb chicken breast; 2 cups cooking oil; 0.25 cup mexican cream; 3 ounces queso fresco to garnish; 2 avocados; 3 small tomatillos; 6 sprigs cilantro; 0.25 onion; 1 clove garlic; 2 juice of lime; 1 tsp salt

These chicken taquitos are essentially crispy, rolled corn tortillas filled with shredded chicken, then fried until golden. They come together quickly, especially if you have cooked chicken ready to go. The key is to fry them in batches so they crisp up evenly, then drain them well. Serve them with a bright avocado salsa and a dollop of Mexican cream.
