Tips:

For a crispy taquito, fry them in hot oil until golden brown. You can also bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, or until crispy.
If you don't have a deep fryer, you can shallow fry the taquitos in a large skillet with about 1/2 inch of oil.
To make the taquitos ahead of time, assemble them and then freeze them on a baking sheet. Once they are frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. When you're ready to cook them, preheat your oven to 400°F and bake the taquitos for 10-12 minutes, or until crispy.
Serve the taquitos with your favorite dipping sauce, such as guacamole, sour cream, or salsa.
