TURKEY CRISPY TACOS WITH MOLE SAUCE (FLAUTAS) makes 12 

INGREDIENTS:

  • 12 corn tortillas (the thinner the better)
  • 2 cups of shredded turkey meat
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • about ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • 1-1/3 cup of mole sauce El Mexicano®
  • 1 cup of El Mexicano® Cotija Cheese or Queso Fresco Casero®, grated or crumbled
  • 1/2 cup El Mexicano® Crema Mexicana

NOTES:

  • You can also serve with red onion slices, avocado and pickled carrots.

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Place shredded turkey meat into a bowl, season with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet at medium high temperature.
  3. While the oil is heating up, warm the tortillas in a hot griddle just a few seconds until they become pliable and easy to roll. Cover with a kitchen napkin to keep warm while you form the taquitos.
  4. Add some of the turkey meat into the tortilla; roll tightly and with the help of kitchen thongs place into the hot oil. Wait a few seconds before remove the thongs to be sure the tortilla won’t unfold.
  5. Cook each taquito for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Once cooked, place in a plate covered with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  7. Before serving, spoon some of the Mole sauce over the taquitos, drizzle with cream and garnish with a El Mexicano® Cotija cheese and/or Queso Fresco Casero®, I used a mix of the two of them. Add some avocado slices and red onion rings. Enjoy!
