These taquitos are packed with juicy jerk chicken, melty cheese and a hit of Jerk Me Up Scotchie, then fried until perfectly golden. They’re dangerously snackable, perfect for game day, girls’ night or honestly just because.
Ingredients

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and seasoned
1 cup cream cheese, softened
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp Jerk Me Up Scotchie
12 small flour tortillas

Directions

Shred the cooked chicken breasts using two forks.
In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese and Jerk Me Up Scotchie until smooth.
Fold in the shredded chicken, then stir in the mozzarella and cheddar until everything is evenly combined.
Spoon a small amount of filling into the centre of each tortilla and roll tightly into a tube. Don’t overfill them, or the cheese will escape while frying (still delicious, just messier!).
Heat oil over medium heat and fry the taquitos in batches until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Combine the diced red onion, chopped cilantro, Hot Mother Truffler Salt and red wine vinegar in a bowl.
Toss together and let sit for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Serve alongside the hot taquitos for the perfect fresh, tangy bite.
