For a richer flavor, consider marinating the shredded chicken in a blend of lime juice, cumin, and chili powder before mixing it with the other filling ingredients. If you don't have a deep-fryer, you can pan-fry the taquitos in a skillet with about 1/2 inch of oil. Ensure to flip them occasionally for even browning. To make these taquitos ahead of time, assemble them and store them in the refrigerator until ready to fry. Add a few extra minutes to the frying time to ensure they are heated through.
