Instructions
- Step 1
Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Heat olive oil in a pan and cook the chicken until fully done and lightly golden. Remove from the pan and chop or shred finely.
- Step 2
In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken with the shredded mozzarella while the chicken is still warm so the cheese starts to soften slightly.
- Step 3
Lay a tortilla flat and add a line of the chicken-cheese mixture in the center. Roll tightly into a taquito shape and secure with a toothpick so it doesn’t open while frying. Repeat with all tortillas.
- Step 4
Heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the taquitos until golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning carefully. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Step 5
Mash the avocado with lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Step 6
Mix all pico de gallo ingredients in a bowl and adjust seasoning to taste.
