Ingredients
How to make it
1
In food processor, pulse DORITOS® FLAMIN' HOT® COOL RANCH® Tortilla Chips until finely crushed to make 3/4 cup.
2
In medium bowl, stir together 3/4 cup salsa, corn, pinto beans, sweet potatoes, cumin and salt.
3
Arrange tortillas on work surface. Spoon 1/4 cup vegetable filling down center of each tortilla. Top each with 1 tbsp cheese and sprinkle with 1 tsp crushed tortilla chips.
4
Roll tortillas tightly to enclose filling like a cigar. Secure each with 2 toothpicks.
5
Meanwhile, in high-sided skillet set over medium heat, add enough oil to reach 2 inches up the sides of the skillet. Heat until shimmering or until instant-read thermometer registers 350°F.
6
In batches to avoid crowding, add taquitos seam-side down to oil. Cook, turning once, for 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy all over. Transfer to paper towel–lined baking sheet to drain. Remove toothpicks.
7
Serve taquitos over a bed of shredded lettuce. Dollop sour cream on top and sprinkle with remaining crushed tortilla chips. Serve with remaining salsa.
Tips & Tricks
If desired, bake taquitos in the oven instead: brush taquitos with melted butter and bake in preheated 425°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
If desired, serve topped with 2 large avocados (peeled, halved, pitted and thinly sliced).
