– 1/2 cup salsa
– 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (your choice)
– Oil for frying
– Toothpicks

#### Directions:

2. **Warm Tortillas:**
– Warm up the tortillas in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them more pliable.
 
3. **Assemble Taquitos:**
– Take 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture and place it in the middle of each tortilla.
– Roll up the tortillas tightly around the filling.
– Secure each taquito with a toothpick to prevent them from unrolling.
 
4. **Fry Taquitos:**
– Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
– Carefully place the rolled-up taquitos in the hot oil, seam side down.
– Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
 
5. **Serve:**
– Once fried, remove the taquitos from the skillet and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
– Serve warm with sour cream or additional salsa on the side for dipping.
