Preparation

Step 1

Add the water to a sauce pan and bring it to a boil. Add soy sauce, bay leaves and peppercorns. Turn down the heat, so it is just below boiling point. Slice the chicken breast lengthwise, to cook more quickly. Poach for 10-12 minutes. Remove it from the water and let it cool, then shred the chicken into smaller pieces.

Step 2

Mix the chicken with cheddar, cream cheese, Kikkoman soy sauce and spices.

Step 3

Place the mixture on the tortillas and roll them up tightly. Fasten with a toothpick.

Step 4

Shallow fry in oil for 4-5 minutes until crispy and golden. Let the taquitos rest a few minutes on a cooling rack to remove excess oil.

Step 5

For the Pico de gallo salsa: Finely dice tomatoes, onion, jalapeno and mix well. Season with oil, finely chopped coriander, lime juice and soy sauce.

Step 6

Place taquitos on a plate with finely sliced iceberg salad, tomatoes, crème fraiche, diced avocado, hot sauce and fresh coriander. Serve with the salsa.

tip
