Discover the ultimate Crispitos recipe—perfectly crispy, filled with savory flavors. Easy to make and utterly delicious!
Equipment
- Deep fryer or large skillet
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Tongs
- Paper towels for draining
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground chicken
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese grated
- 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
- 1 medium Onion finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Green chilies chopped
- 8 Tortillas flour
- As needed Oil for frying
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Filling
- Combine ground chicken, cheddar cheese, taco seasoning, onion, and green chilies in a mixing bowl.
- Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Note: For the best flavor, let the filling sit for about 10 minutes before stuffing, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 2 – Stuff and Roll the Tortillas
- Place an even amount of filling along the center of each tortilla.
- Roll the tortillas tightly to encase the filling.
- Warning: Ensure the edges are tucked in properly to prevent any filling from leaking out during frying.
Step 3 – Fry to Golden Perfection
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the Crispitos until golden brown, usually about 3-4 minutes.
- Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Tip: Keep the fried Crispitos in a warm oven if you need to fry them in batches to serve all at once.
Notes
- For a lighter version, bake the Crispitos at 375°F (190°C) until crisp, about 15-20 minutes.
- Use toothpicks to secure the tortillas if they unroll during prep.
