I learnt an amazing hack I learnt from my grand mother when tempature gages weren’t thought of or made back then, I’d love to share with you how to test readiness of oil by using a wooden tooth pick dipping into the oil as the heating processes has started soon as little bubbles release around the tooth pick it shows the readiness of your oil, what they call a medium rolling boil is perfect so each time you dip the tooth pick if not alota bubbles it’s not quite to frying temp but if rapid bubbles are forming turn down your element, meaning to high and you will burn your food by it cooking to rapidly and if bubbles are nicely bubbling it’s the perfect temperature to begin your frying, Hope this takes the guessing game out of oil temp readiness with out using a thermometer. Love the video this will be my first time making these thankyou love from 🇨🇦
Over the last 5 years , you've taught me how to make the most wonderful rice and so many dinners that made my kids and friends so happy and I'm so grateful to you.🤗 Thank you 🤗
Oh, my gosh! I just made these with some pulled pork my hubby did on the smoker yesterday. AMAZING! He said these are the best taquitos he has ever had. Thank you so much! I can't wait to do more. I made 10, cooked 4 right away to try, saved 6 for dinner, and have 20 in the freezer. Thank you so much! I will be skimming your videos for more great recipes.
I have always done it the way you show here. I recently tried using a large cookie sheet and brushing oil on both sides of the tortillas and overlapping them a bit on the sheet and putting them in a 400 degree over for 10 - 15 mins It works
Today I made a variety of you Taquitos! I just wanted to send out a big thank you!! My family is costing me a chunk at the grocery store buying store bought frozen taquitos~ Delicious!
Just made a batch of a dozen for dinner tonight, thanks! Edit: In five days of practice, I'm getting compliments from my partner about how good these are. Worth it, definitely on the house menu now.
I bumped onto your channel not too long ago and love how detail you are and why you do what you do, very educational. I've done floutas as per friends with the toothpick, this seems a lot easier and really no waste, I've had my corn tortillas crack on me but heating them up in a coat of oil of some sort, softens them. Thanks so much!
We always called flautas using the flour tortillas and taquitos for using corn tortillas 😆. I just put the tortillas in microwave for 1 minute and they roll up nicely and stay closed when frying 😉
Just made taquitos today and my tortillas kept unrolling in the shallow fry even though I put them seam side down - thank you for the slurry tip!! My taquitos will be perfect next time. Thank you!!
I have made more than 6 of your recipes and my husband calls me "cooking mama" lol. I have your cookbook and several recipes written down. I recently made your stove top fried pork carmitas with coke and evaporated milk... it was amazing 👏 😍 so I had about a pd of meat left over so I made pork carnitas taquitis and flautas!! With your green salsa and avocado 🥑 😋 wow!! Then I made pork chops with salsa Verde sauce with yellow rice! I mean girl.. I Love your food!! Thank you for sharing your gufts!gifts!! And your voice calms me down.
I want to thank you for your tutorial. Years ago I tried to make rolled tacos and I didn't do it right, they fell apart. I was a bit sceptical of trying again, until I watched your video. I gave it a shot, lo and behold it worked. My boyfriend raved about them. They're delicious topped with melted cheese, guacamole, sour cream and salsa. Again thank you.
I love these but never really knew how to make them to where they'd stay together. Now I think I'm ready to give it a try 🙂 Thank you so much for your instruction and tips😊
Angelica! I LOVE the tips in this video! I've always used toothpicks when making flautas but I think using the flour/water paste will make cooking flautas so much easier! I also really appreciate you showing us how to freeze them. Great info amiga! Gracias!
Looks and sounds great! I've also found that for those of us who do not like to fry, for whatever reason, there is a baked option. Fixed and treated just the same (except we always add cheeses and peppers to the filling), then on an oiled sheet pan into a well preheated 425 oven for 15-20 minutes. Are they as good as fried? Nope. But they are still really, really good. And if you are lucky enough to have a Mexican Market nearby, fresh corn tortillas make an incredible improvement. Cheers all! And thank you M
Loved the way you used the flour water paste to seal the tortilla. What I did not see you do was date your bag of frozen tacquitos before putting them in the freezer. Just use a sharpie works great 😊
This the first video about taquitos that actually is correct with how to roll and stick together, thanks. I have usually used egg wash but will try the flour method next time. By the way the other videos claiming taquitos are really burritos
Thanks simply mama, my taquitos always unravel, ill definitely do the pre-oil soaking thing also. I slowcooked a whole t-bone steak and it's gonna be great for some tacos and fresh charro beans.
as usual I can't wait to try. I live in metro Detroit but have visited Texas many times and love the san Antonio area ( sry can't spell). I wish I could find a market like the ones you shop lol. ie learned so much from you an I want to thank you!!!You are beautiful and kind and have a lovely family. I love the video where you visit your grand parents
I have used the sealing method for chimichangas too, but for the taquitos I dip the ends with a slightly thicker paste to seal the ends against the fat. Also, I use masa harina mixed with flour half and half. Good job.
I add chicken with cheese in my tacitos. So yummy! And then my dipping sauce is contadina tomato sauce, I add garlic powder, crushed red pepper and salt. All to taste and heat level.
I've made flautas many times and I always warm my tortillas up in the microwave it's faster. I don't need a seal I roll my flautas and lay them on the seam in the hot oil and they seal themselves. Easy.
I do love the simplicity of your video! Thank you so much. This was not what I was looking for (apparently I forgot the name), but yay now so know that flautas and taquitos are literally the same thing! Hilarious.
Great idea for the flour! I’ve been wanting to try something different than tooth picks or spaghetti noodles when out of picks lol. I just feel like they get in the way of turning them over! I love how you freeze them too! Nice prepping!
Wow some good tips on sealing with the paste! I always hated using toothpicks but no other good way to seal. And freezing then refereeing so they don’t stick together. And, lightly toasting first the tortilla first is more work but perfection!❤️
So helpful! Your process is so clean. I make a crazy mess when I make flautas, but I’ll use your flour paste technique next time and it should keep things cleaner. 😘
Thank you so much for your time in making this video. I can't wait to try this without the toothpick hack. Gosh, at 8:12 you gave me the cravings to go out and get this done! 😆
I like the flour paste to close them instead of the toothpicks. I'm going to do this next time I make them. Thank you for the tip. I just love your videos so easy to follow.
Thank you for making this video. It’s nice to get your recipes. You always give us the tips that keep us from making big mistakes. Sure missed your videos.
A very splendid and informative video. My only suggestions would be, things I use differently, use a whisk instead of a wooden spoon on the flour & and chilly water (I use corn starch & chilly water)) to form a paste and use a small craft silicone brush to apply the paste to the corn tortillas.
Love this! I used the flour mix and it was so much easier than toothpicks! One question, after they are frozen do you thaw them before frying or straight from frozen?
Thank you for sharing all your recipes. I’m a new sub here and I’m gluten and dairy free but I can alter your recipes for my allergies. This recipe is basically GF/DF minus the flour for sticking. Thank you again. Take care and God Bless🙏🥰✌️

You can also do it with a wooden chopstick!
I always use a toothpick
Over the last 5 years , you've taught me how to make the most wonderful rice and so many dinners that made my kids and friends so happy and I'm so grateful to you.🤗 Thank you 🤗
Sounds so convenient to freeze them for a quick serving later.
Thanks for sharing that tip.

Thanks! I’ll try that!
What kind of tortillas did you use? Because I warmed mine up for like 10 seconds and they ripped in the oven. I used soft white corn tortillas.
Probably just the straight corn ones.
Try again. With a test group of 2.
what kind of oil do u use? i got vegetable oil
I like how you say, “tortilla!” ❤😉👏
I learned 2 things from you today, using oil spray on the tortillas and the flour paste. OMGosh, thank you! (Why didn't I think of that? Lol)
I learned the same things too. Now to give it a try!
I learn so much from this Channel!
I also agree on the tortilla method. I just can't bring myself to microwave them because the still tend to tear
I agree, use the stove or griddle method.
I spent most of the '90's in San Diego and I love comida Mexicano authentico! Gracias maestro!
Great tips! I love your calm manner, I get real nervous when I try new recipes. Thank you for sharing your recipes.
Today I made a variety of you Taquitos! I just wanted to send out a big thank you!! My family is costing me a chunk at the grocery store buying store bought frozen taquitos~ Delicious!

I've learned so much from you.
Could you do a video on different things you can do with tamale corn flour mix besides tamales?
We always called flautas using the flour tortillas and taquitos for using corn tortillas 😆. I just put the tortillas in microwave for 1 minute and they roll up nicely and stay closed when frying 😉
Great ideas for rolling and freezing.
Oooooooo. That looks so delicious. I can’t wait to try this quick and easy meal. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us. Stay safe.
Texas makes flautas with corn tortillas and flour tortillas is used on the West Coast.
minced onion, shredded jack and dipping salsa would have brought them to five stars😋
That is the best idea on how to freeze the flautas!!!! Thank you for this!!!!
Really cool recipe and the way you freeze them before you store them in the zippy! Super Clever!!😎👍🏼🙏🏼
That one channel where you're like totally stuffed and then like "Ohhh but THIS!!" That's this one.. YUM, YUM, YUM!!
Just made taquitos today and my tortillas kept unrolling in the shallow fry even though I put them seam side down - thank you for the slurry tip!! My taquitos will be perfect next time. Thank you!!

I live the idea about freezing them.
Love how you teach all with love and believe that we can prepare these ourselves TY
You are a great teacher. You make everything look easy. I love your videos.
I love these but never really knew how to make them to where they'd stay together.
Now I think I'm ready to give it a try 🙂
Thank you so much for your instruction and tips😊
The freezing them before putting them in a container, is genius. I learnt something new today! Thank youuuuu
Angelica! I LOVE the tips in this video! I've always used toothpicks when making flautas but I think using the flour/water paste will make cooking flautas so much easier! I also really appreciate you showing us how to freeze them. Great info amiga! Gracias!
Thank you for this recipe!! When you freeze the taquitos, do you fry them frozen or let them thaw before frying?
I'd fry them frozen, like frozen egg rolls or french fries.
Anyone else's mouth watering???!!! Simply Mama it looks sooooo YUM.
I will make these with a little mozzarella cheese .Yummy.
Great tips !! I will try it without the toothpick next time. The freezer method you use makes so more much sense.
Looks and sounds great! I've also found that for those of us who do not like to fry, for whatever reason, there is a baked option.

Honestly I just made these for dinner and my husband loves them!! It’s nice and simple and easy to make! Not to mention Yummy!!!
the flour water paste is BRILLIANT!! i never thought about that for taquitos
I always cook mine that way too for enchiladas. I like soft cooked tacos too. I think it brings out the good corn flavor
You’re so smaaaaart! Toothpick method almost makes it like “is it even worth it?” Thanks Mamá. I’m gonna be so fat! ☺️
Love your videos! I made your birria queso tacos with consomme for the first time. So good. They were a family hit
Thank You for sharing looks delicious. Gonna try the flour paste to seal the tacos instead of toothpicks. Have a Blessed evening.
This the first video about taquitos that actually is correct with how to roll and stick together, thanks. I have usually used egg wash but will try the flour method next time. By the way the other videos claiming taquitos are really burritos
Freezing them in a layer first so they don’t rip
You’re a genius !!! Love your videos
I DID IT!!! Thanks a bunch!!! YUMMY!!!
Great video. Thank you
Thank you 🙏 I learned a few things. I like how you used the water & flower mixture to seal your taquito’s 👍
Thank you for this amazing recipe I am south Asian and my mom always makes this paste it’s magical!!
These look so delicious and I love the idea of being able to free some of them! Thank you for another wonderful recipe
Now I see what I did wrong last time! What else can we put in besides chicken? Anybody wanna say:
@@Sanity_Faire shredded beef, canned roast beef, green chile with beef, etc.
@@deliabravo3671 Oooo, yeah!
The possibilities are endless! Do you thaw them before frying or just go for it straight from the freezer?
@@annamartinez7031 I would think you need to defrost them first. You don't want ice crystals in hot oil which will lead to oil splattering.
me encanto. gracias, estaba buscando cual era la mejor manera de congelar los taquitos y salio tu video. lo voy a intentar, gracias.
The freezer point was golden. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks simply mama, my taquitos always unravel, ill definitely do the pre-oil soaking thing also. I slowcooked a whole t-bone steak and it's gonna be great for some tacos and fresh charro beans.

Like how you included instructions for freezing as well
Seriously, one of my favorites meals. They look perfect!
I used corn masa as glue and IT WORKS! ❤ Makes them certainly gluten free.
I have used the sealing method for chimichangas too, but for the taquitos I dip the ends with a slightly thicker paste to seal the ends against the fat. Also, I use masa harina mixed with flour half and half. Good job.
Love this ! your a very good cook ! Thank you for sharing with us
Omg! The crunch! I’m prepping breakfast sandwiches today, tomorrow I will be making these for the freezer, so yummy. Thanks for sharing
Oh my God I love taquitos so much! Thank you so much for this recipe!
Cheers to keeping it SIMPLE. thank you.
I add chicken with cheese in my tacitos. So yummy! And then my dipping sauce is contadina tomato sauce, I add garlic powder, crushed red pepper and salt. All to taste and heat level.
How do you prepare them from frozen? Do they need to thaw first?
Just subscribed. I'm so happy I finally got to do flautas without them breaking and tearing up apart. Thank you !!!! 😊 they were delicious!!!
Those are one of my favorite things, thanks for showing us how to freeze them. Have a great day 🌸
Love your recipes! Love the way you prepare & cook. Im making these today for superbowl and now NO TOOTHPICKS!! YAY

A very splendid and informative video. My only suggestions would be, things I use differently, use a whisk instead of a wooden spoon on the flour & and chilly water (I use corn starch & chilly water)) to form a paste and use a small craft silicone brush to apply the paste to the corn tortillas.
Oh thank you for this recipe. I have been looking for freezer friendly meals. This here is a must have!
👍One of my favorite meals to eat.😋
Thank you for the freezer recipe!!! Brilliant!
Looks so yummy.
I’m going to make some tonight for my works pot luck tomorrow. If I refrigerate them, will they still be crunchy around 12 tomorrow?
Paste is such a great idea
This was a great simple demonstration. Thx!
Love watching you cook. I learned a few recipes from your videos.
Made your taquitos with home baked chicken. Your green salsa and guacamole. They were fabulous. I all never buy jar green salsa again. Thanks so much.
When cooking the frozen ones do you thaw them before frying or just directly fry them from the freezer? Thanks
You thaw them first
Great recipe and instructions!
Great tip to freeze them first before putting them in a freezer bag.
Love this! I used the flour mix and it was so much easier than toothpicks! One question, after they are frozen do you thaw them before frying or straight from frozen?
Love the “crunch” lol!
I love this meal. Thanks for showing me how to make it.
Like the idea of sealing with flour paste! also guacamole & salsa on top is yummy
Wow looks absolutely tooo yummy 😋 and delicious perfectly done well explained will definately try soon super amazing presentation stay blessed stay connected
