Pour olive oil about ¼ inch deep in a large frying pan and heat over medium-high.
Warm 5 tortillas at a time in the microwave. Wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15 seconds. Fill each tortilla with a small amount of shredded chicken and cheese. Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick.
Fry in hot oil for 2-3 minutes on each side, flipping with tongs. Taquitos will be golden brown and crispy when done. Remove to a paper towel to soak off excess oil. Remove toothpicks prior to serving.
Serve with Mexican crema, sour cream, guacamole, or salsa if desired.
Notes
Chicken taquitos keep well in the fridge for up to 1 week. They can be frozen for about 6 months, but will lose some of their crispiness.
