Preparation

Step 1

Heat the corn tortillas in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, until they are pliable.

Build each taquito:

1 ounce chicken, 1 tablespoon fat free refried beans, sprinkle of cheese, 1 tablespoon of salsa.

Roll up and deep fry for 2-3 minutes. Since my deep fryer holds a perfect temperature, my food is crisp, not greasy - so I add 1 teaspoon of oil absorption for the 3 taquitos.

Serve with salsa, sour cream and cilantro.
