Ingredients
  

  • 10 corn tortillas
  • 2 quarts oil for frying
  • 1 pound pulled pork
  • 1 cup Mexican cheese blend shredded
  • 1 can (4 ounces)

    diced green chilis

  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon

    cayenne pepper

  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • chipotle ranch dressing, BBQ sauce or your preferred dipping sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet over medium heat combine chilis, salsa and cilantro. Add lime juice, black pepper, cumin, chili powder, onion powder and cayenne pepper and stir to combine.
  • Add pulled pork and cheese and stir until cheese is melted.
  • Wrap your stack of tortillas in a damp paper towel or damp dish towel, place them on a plate and microwave them for 2 minutes. This will prevent them from cracking and falling apart as you roll your taquitos.
  • Take your tortillas one by one and spoon 1/10th of your taquito filling onto the lower third of each tortilla, roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
  • Heat oil in deep fryer or heavy skillet to 375°F.
  • Fry your taquitos in batches for 1 minute or until golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels and serve with chipotle ranch dressing, BBQ sauce or your preferred dipping sauce.
