These Rolled and fried taquitos are a game-changer for me. My family loves these so much that we make them twice even thrice a week! Filled with chicken, cream cheese, salsa, and spinach, rolled and fried to perfection, serve these as an appetizer or even a main dish with some Mexican rice or salsa.
A no-fuss recipe that you can prep in five minutes and ready in fifteen minutes. Even the kids enjoy helping. Very similar to chicken tacos, both delicious, and a crowd favourite. I am pretty sure your family will love these Chicken Taquitos (aka flautas) as we do!
