Taquito

From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Taquito (also known as rolled taco) is a popular Mexican dish consisting of a small rolled-up tortilla and some type of filling, typically beef or chicken. The tortilla is usually corn but can also be a flour tortilla. It is then fried until crispy. The dish is often topped with condiments such as sour cream and guacamole.

History[edit]

The exact origins of the taquito are unknown, but it is believed to have originated in Mexico. The dish has been popular in the United States since the early 20th century, particularly in the southwestern states.

Preparation[edit]

To prepare a taquito, a small tortilla is typically filled with a meat such as shredded beef or chicken. The tortilla is then rolled tightly around the filling and secured with a toothpick. The rolled tortilla is then deep-fried until it is crispy and golden brown. Taquitos are often served with toppings such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, and guacamole.

Variations[edit]

There are many variations of the taquito. Some versions use different types of meat, such as pork or fish, while others use cheese or vegetables as the filling. In some regions, taquitos are served with a side of rice and beans.

In popular culture[edit]

Taquitos have been featured in various forms of media, including television shows and movies. They are also a popular item at many fast food restaurants and are often sold in the frozen food section of grocery stores.
