Crispy chicken taquitos are the ultimate finger food with only 15 minutes of prep! Everyone loves these classic taquitos! They’re fried to golden perfection and are great as appetizers or even a main dish.

Ingredients:
vegetable or canola oil, for frying
3 cups shredded, cooked chicken
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
1½ cups baby spinach, stems removed and chopped
1½ cups shredded Colby Jack cheese, or Mexican blend cheese
½ cup salsa, store-bought or homemade
⅓ cup sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas (or flour tortillas)

Toppings:
shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, Pico de Gallo

Instructions:
Fill a saucepan with ½ inch of oil and heat over medium heat to 350°F.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl mix 3 cups chicken, 6 ounces cream cheese, 1½ cups spinach, 1½ cups Colby Jack cheese, ½ cup salsa, and ⅓ cup sour cream. Add salt and pepper.
Once oil is hot enough, add a few tablespoons of chicken/cream cheese mixture to the center of a tortilla and spread out. Roll the tortilla and use tongs to place it seam-side down in hot oil.
