Here are the steps to make Chicken and Cream Cheese Taquitos:

• Mix well till incorporated.

• I have used soft,flour tortilla. You can use corn tortilla too.Use the mini/small tortilla.

• If using corn tortilla then cover them with a damp kitchen towel and microwave for few seconds till soft and apply oil to tortilla on both sides before adding the filling.

• Add generous amount of stuffing,spring onion and cilantro.

• Roll them tight and fry in oil till golden (these cook very fast so watch constantly or they will burn)

Instructions

1. To make salsa,in a mixer grinder add all the ingredients mentioned for salsa and pulse them for few seconds but do not make watery paste.
2. To make the filling, to a mixing bowl,add the chicken along with spices and toss well.
   Next add the sour cream,cream cheese,cheese,salsa and mix well.
3. To serve,place a mini tortilla,add the stuffing,spring onion and cilantro,roll tightly.
   Optionally keep it intact with a toothpick.
   In a shallow pan,add oil enough to cover the taquitos, and when its hot enough,slowly arrange taquitos and fry till crisp.
   Watch out for the taquitos as they cook very fast.
   Drain them on a kitchen tissue and serve hot with salsa.
