Brits Try Mexican Taquitos for the first time! & we were not ready!

This one started with leftover chicken… and turned into something incredible. Today we’re making Chicken Taquitos — a Mexican-inspired dish that we believe either originated in California or became hugely popular through Tex-Mex cooking. Either way, this was a first for us, and we honestly weren’t prepared for just how good they’d be. We kick things off by making Mexican rice from scratch, something we’ve never done before on the channel. Instead of boiling rice the usual way, we toast it first with onion, spices, and seasoning before adding stock and tomato — a totally new method for us, and one that completely changed the flavour. Then it’s onto the chicken taquitos: Leftover roast chicken, seasoned and mixed with cheese, cream cheese, a little salsa, and (yes…) some spinach — rolled up in corn tortillas and fried until golden and crispy. As Brits, this way of using leftovers is completely different to what we’re used to. Normally, leftover chicken would end up in a sandwich, a pie, or a curry… but rolling it up and frying it until crispy? That’s a whole new world for us — and one we’re very glad we discovered. We served everything up with: 1) Mexican rice 2) Beans 3) Sour cream Fresh salsa Crispy chicken taquitos And honestly… this might be one of our favourite meals we’ve ever made on the channel. 🔥 Would we make it again? Absolutely. 🔥 Is it going into our regular rotation? 100%. If you’ve got tips, variations, or different ways you make taquitos or Mexican rice — let us know in the comments.
