Description
Delicious taquitos filled with a savory mix of crab meat, shrimp, and creamy queso, perfect for any gathering.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Crab meat (Cooked and shredded)
- 1 cup Shrimp (Cooked and chopped)
- 1 cup Queso cheese (Melted for richness)
- 4 oz Cream cheese (Softened)
- 1 tsp Garlic powder (Optional)
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Black pepper (To taste)
- 1 tsp Salt (To taste)
- 10 small Tortillas (Corn or flour)
- 1 cup Oil (For frying)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the crab meat, shrimp, melted queso cheese, and softened cream cheese.
- Add garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt to the mixture. Mix everything until well combined.
- Warm the tortillas slightly so they are flexible. Place a generous spoonful of the seafood mixture in the center of each tortilla.
- Roll the tortillas tightly to form taquitos, securing the filling inside.
- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the taquitos in the oil, frying them until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Remove the taquitos from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Notes
Serve with sour cream, guacamole, or salsa. Garnish with fresh cilantro or lime wedges.
