Fried taquitos are a savory snack or meal originating from Mexican cuisine, typically made by tightly rolling small corn tortillas around a flavorful filling and frying them until crispy. Common fillings include shredded chicken, beef, or pork, combined with spices, cheese, and sometimes vegetables like peppers or onions. The golden, crunchy exterior pairs well with dipping sauces such as guacamole, salsa, or sour cream. While taquitos provide a satisfying protein boost from the meat and cheese, their fried preparation can lead to a high fat and calorie content. They may also contain refined grains if white corn tortillas are used. For a healthier alternative, taquitos can be baked instead of fried or filled with lean proteins and more vegetables. Fried taquitos remain a popular indulgence, offering bold flavors and a versatile option for casual meals or appetizers.
