What is Taquito?

Taquito consists of a soft taco shell, which was rolled around a spicy filling and then fried. While Taquito is considered to be Mexican food by many, it is believed to have been invented in the United States. Taquitos is very similar to Mexican food known as Flautas and some people use these terms interchangeably. Precise Taquito recipes may vary considerably, but the production of this food usually includes the preparation of fillings, wrapping of soft shells around this filling, and then frying every roll until it is crunchy. It is also possible to buy Taquitos from restaurants and supermarkets.

While many people connect Taquito with Mexican cuisine and many restaurants in Mexico and Mexican restaurants in other countries sell Taquitos, it believes that this food has actually been conceived in the US. Specifically, Taquitos is attributed to many of the owner of the tortilla tortilla in San Diego named Ralph Pesqueria Jr. Tex-Mex Food Lore holds that Pesqueria invented Taquito in the 40th of the 20th century as a strategy to increaseProduct sales. His invention grabbed and quickly gained popularity in and outside the US.

In addition to the fact that Taquitos is often sold in restaurants and street sellers specializing in Mexican items, another reason why they are often incorrectly identified as traditional Mexican food is that they are very similar to the popular Mexican food called Flaut. The primary difference between the flaouts and Taquitos is that the first is made of tortilla flour, while the second is made of corn tortilla. Despite this resolution, many people use these two terms interchangeably.

In the production of Taquitos, most cooks begin with the preparation of the filling. While Taquitos, when Pesqueria first invented them, were filled with crushed beef, they can be made with a wide range of filling. Popular choices include chicken, pork, steak, cheese, vegenables or their combinations. A small amount of fillingsIt is a teaspoon of corn tortilla, which then rolls firmly into the shape of the tube. This "tube" is then fried in hot oil until it is crunchy, and is eventually served with icing such as sour cream, guacamole and salsa.
