instructions
    1

    Begin by cooking the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for about 8 to 10 minutes until crispy. Once cooked, remove the bacon and let it cool before chopping it into small pieces.

    2

    In a bowl, combine the chopped bacon, cheese, and cream cheese. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.

    3

    Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.

    4

    Take a tortilla and place a generous scoop of the bacon and cheese mixture in the center. Roll it tightly to form a taquito. Repeat this step for the remaining tortillas.

    5

    In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the taquitos seam-side down.

    6

    Fry the taquitos for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them and adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

    7

    Once all taquitos are fried, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

    8

    Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce like salsa or guacamole.
