Ingredients
- 1 pound cilantro salmon, cooked and flaked
- 1/4 cup salsa verde
- 1 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup cilantro
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons of oil
Instructions
- Mix the salmon, salsa, cheese and cilantro.
- Working one at a time, warm the tortillas in a damp paper towel in the microwave for 20 seconds to soften, place 2 tablespoons of the mixture in the centre, roll the tortilla up and pin it closed with a toothpick.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet, working in batches add the rolls and cook until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 4-6 minutes, and set aside on paper towels.

Notes
Bake the taquitos by placing them on a greased baking pan, lightly spraying them with oil and baking in a preheated 400F oven until golden brown and crispy, about 8-12 minutes.
