Ingredients

Taquitos
Vegetable oil, for frying
(16-ounce) package LLOYD’S® Pecanwood Smoked & Seasoned Pulled Pork with Pig Beach Mustard Sauce
1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
12 CHI-CHI’S® Flour Fajita Style Tortillas
Queso
1 cup PLANTERS® Deluxe Whole Cashews
¾ cup hot water
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1 clove garlic, peeled
3 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions

For the Taquitos

  1. In a large straight-sided skillet, heat 1/2-inch oil over medium heat until it reaches 375°F.

  2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix pulled pork, cheddar and cream cheese together until combined.

  3. Spread roughly 1/4 cup of pork mixture evenly over tortillas. Roll up each tortilla and place onto a baking sheet, seam-side-down.

  4. Working in batches, fry tortillas seam-side-down, turning occasionally, until golden-brown, about 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to let drain.

For the Queso

  1. In a blender or food processor, combine cashews, water, yeast and garlic.

  2. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a large serving bowl. Garnish queso and taquitos with cilantro. Serve and enjoy.
