Ingredients

1 avocado sliced
1/2 cup of water
3/4 oz of ground beef or ground chicken
2 tbsp of sour cream
1 1/2 tbsp of cumin
1 1/2 cups of vegetable oil
8 flour tortillas
3/4 teaspoon of chili powder
3/4 cup cheese shredded
2 tbsp of salsa
2 tbsp of paprika

Instructions

In a skillet, cook the ground beef or chicken over medium heat until browned.
Add the cumin, chili powder, and paprika, and stir until the meat is well coated in the spices.
Mix in the salsa, sour cream, and shredded cheese, and cook until the cheese is melted and the filling is well combined.
Take a flour tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the filling onto one end.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, and then tightly roll it up, starting from the filling end.
Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the rolled crispitos into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Once fully cooked, transfer the crispitos to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispitos warm with your favorite dipping sauces or toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
Enjoy the crispy exterior, the flavorful filling, and the harmonious blend of spices in every bite.

Notes

To make vegetarian crispitos, you can substitute the ground beef or chicken with plant-based alternatives such as crumbled tofu or textured vegetable protein (TVP).
For an added kick, you can sprinkle some cayenne pepper or hot sauce into the filling mixture.
Ensure that the tortillas are tightly rolled to prevent any filling from seeping out during frying.
If you're short on time, you can prepare the filling in advance and refrigerate it until you're ready to assemble and fry the crispitos.
The vegetable oil should be hot enough to fry the crispitos quickly, but not so hot that it burns them. Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the oil temperature.
