Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 Mission® Small/Fajita Super Soft Flour Tortillas, cut into 4 equal pieces
12 jumbo shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails intact
3 tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Toothpicks as needed

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine sriracha, soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, honey, salt and pepper. Whisk well to combine. Add shrimp to bowl and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Lay the tortilla triangles onto a work surface. Place a shrimp on top of each with the tail extended from the tip of the triangle. Roll up tightly. The tail will stick out from the tortilla. Secure with a toothpick. Store in the refrigerator until ready to fry.
  • Heat the oil in a medium size saucepan over high heat. When the temperature reads 350 degrees F on a thermometer it is ready to use. Maintain the temperature by adjusting the heat up or down when necessary.
  • Using tongs and working in small batches, carefully place the shrimp in the hot oil. Fry until tortilla is a deep golden brown and the tail of the shrimp curls, about 2 minutes. Remove the toothpick from each and serve with peanut sauce or Thai chili sauce.

I had some trouble getting the taquitos to stay rolled up. I think I needed to use more filling.

These taquitos were a little too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less cayenne pepper next time.

I added some extra chopped cilantro and green onions to the filling, and they were delicious. I also served them with a side of sour cream and guacamole.
