One of the things I deeply miss about living in California is unlimited access to rolled taquitos. They don’t exist in my area of The South even at the best of Mexican places.

I got up today on a mission and took half a rotisserie chicken and some corn tortillas and wrapped everything up and put them in the chest freezer to be ready for dinner time deep frying. I wanted this to be as close to the real thing as possible so I made way too much guacamole and got some cotija cheese in advance for this. The cheese isn’t perfect. The proper cheese has chili paste coating the rind. But this will do.

    Not all heroes were capes. Unless you do.

    One clarification:

    The rice was two cups water, … , two cups of water

    I assume you mean 2 cups rice and 2 cups water?

    Thank you! I will try this out this week.

      Oh. Two (2) cups water. One (1) cup rice.

      I’d probably double the chicken cubes and/or cumin. My wife was feeling salt sensitive so I cut back on the normal dosage.

        Ah, makes more sense. Thanks!

        And yeah, I’ve found that my sense of taste sucks, and I need more spices than the average Gringo.

        You’re the best! 😄
