Chipotle Pork Taquitos
By Traeger Kitchen
This is more like a description of a method than a hard and fast recipe. We like these made with shredded Chipotle Smoked Pork Butt, which you can find on this site, but it’s good with just about any pulled pork really. How many taquitos you make depends on how much leftover pork you have (and how hungry you are). You could also add cheese to these if you like. Serve with salsa or a creamy guacamole for dipping.

Steps
Step 1
Set a deep, heavy-duty pot filled no more than halfway with oil on the Traeger Induction cooktop or on the stove. Clip a deep fry thermometer to the pot and heat the oil over medium heat to between 350°F and 375°F. Place a cooling rack over a sided baking sheet.

Step 2
Meanwhile, make the taquitos, Whisk the corn starch with ¼ cup water to make a slurry. For each taquito, brush the top edge of a corn tortilla with the corn starch slurry. Add a couple tablespoons of the pork and roll up tightly in the corn tortilla, pressing on the seam to seal.
