Creating Crispy Chicken Taquitos is simple! Just follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Filling: In a large bowl, combine shredded chicken, cheese, salsa, taco seasoning, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
2. Heat the Tortillas: In a skillet, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. This will make them pliable and easier to roll.
3. Fill the Tortillas: Take a tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture in the center. Roll it tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
4. Secure the Taquitos: Use a toothpick to secure the taquito if needed. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
5. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
6. Fry the Taquitos: Carefully place the taquitos in the hot oil, seam side down. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, remove the taquitos from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve Warm: Enjoy your Crispy Chicken Taquitos hot, with your favorite dipping sauces.

These straightforward steps will guide you in creating a batch of crispy, delicious taquitos that everyone will adore!
