# Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
02 - 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
03 - 1 cup cream cheese, softened
04 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
05 - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
06 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 teaspoon onion powder
08 - 1/2 teaspoon paprika
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ To Assemble

11 - 8 small flour tortillas
12 - Oil for frying

# Steps:

01 - Combine shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, softened cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, minced garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Mix until well-combined and smooth.
02 - Lay out the flour tortillas. Spoon approximately 3 tablespoons of the filling onto one edge of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
03 - Heat about 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down in the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
04 - Remove fried taquitos from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with dipping sauces like salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

# Tips:

01 - Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture, but avoid overheating to prevent burning.
