Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Filling

In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded jackfruit, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until heated through.

Assemble the Taquitos

On each tortilla, place a generous spoonful of the jackfruit mixture and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll them tightly and secure with a toothpick if needed.

Fry the Taquitos

In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary and fry the taquitos until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Serve

Remove from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips for the Perfect Taquitos

To achieve the ultimate crispy texture, ensure that your oil is hot enough before adding the taquitos to the skillet. If the oil isn't sufficiently heated, the taquitos may absorb too much oil and become greasy rather than crispy. A good test is to drop a small piece of tortilla into the oil; if it sizzles immediately, you're ready to fry.

For added flavor, consider marinating the jackfruit in spices or sauces before cooking. This step allows the jackfruit to soak up even more flavor, enhancing the overall taste of your taquitos. Experiment with different spices to find your favorite combination!

Serving Suggestions

Serve your Taquitos Jackfruit Cheese Crispy alongside a colorful salad for a well-rounded meal. A fresh green salad with a zesty dressing can balance the richness of the taquitos and provide a refreshing contrast. You can also add some sliced jalapeños or diced avocados for an extra kick and creaminess.

For a fun twist, consider making a taquito platter with different fillings. Offer a variety of fillings, such as beans, vegetables, or different types of cheese, allowing guests to customize their taquitos. This not only elevates your serving game but also encourages creativity in the kitchen!
