Street Fiesta Taquitos-Pupusas-Taco Stand!
Not too far from my house I stumbled upon a weekend long street fair in a predominately Mexican and Central American neighborhood. Smack in the middle was this awesome food stand with nearly every tasty treat you could ask for. Pupasas from El Salvador, roasted corn, tacos, gorditas enchilada style, plantains, burritos, fruit smoothies, agua frescas and one of my favorite street snacks, taquitos!
Everyting looked so tasty, but I limited myself to one carne asada taco and a trio of chicken taquitos with queso fresco and a splash of smokey roasted salsa. Taquitos are really just tacos rolled up and deep fried and served with favorite sauces and cheese.
Super easy to do at home healthy style too. Just take your favorite cooked and seasoned taco meat (or veggies like roasted potatoes and peppers), roll up in six inch corn tortillas and gently fry in a half inch of hot vegetable oil in a cast iron skillet flipping over once for around five minutes on each side. Make dozens beacause people will chow though them! Such great finger food for adults and kids plus every one can choose what kind of sauce, salsa or cheesy goodness to dip in!
