Deliciously crispy taquitos filled with creamy crab and succulent shrimp, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.

Ingredients

  • Corn tortillas
  • Creamy crab meat
  • Shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • Queso cheese
  • Oil for frying (or cooking spray for baking/air frying)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, salsa, avocado

Instructions

  1. Combine the Filling: In a bowl, mix together the creamy crab, shrimp, and queso cheese. Season generously with salt and pepper to elevate the flavors.
  2. Warm the Corn Tortillas: Gently warm the corn tortillas to make them pliable. You can do this in a skillet over low heat or wrap them in a damp towel and microwave them for a few seconds.
  3. Fill and Roll the Taquitos: Spoon a portion of the seafood mixture onto each tortilla and roll them up tightly, ensuring the filling stays tucked inside.
  4. Prepare the Cooking Method: Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat, or preheat your oven or air fryer. If you’re opting for baking or air frying, get everything nice and hot so your taquitos will crisp up beautifully.
  5. Cook the Taquitos: If you’re frying, add the taquitos seam-side down in the hot oil and cook until they are golden brown and crispy—about 3-4 minutes on each side. For baking, place them on a baking sheet, lightly spray with cooking spray, and bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or until crispy. In the air fryer, follow the settings—the typical time is around 12-15 minutes at 400°F.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the taquitos hot with your choice of optional toppings like sour cream, salsa, and fresh avocado. They’re best enjoyed fresh, with a side of your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Keep tortillas warm and covered until ready to use. Avoid overfilling to prevent mess.
