Tequeños
Ingredients
- 2 cups Flour (you could also use crescent roll dough)
- 1 tsp Salt
- 6 tbsp Cold Butter cubed
- 6 tbsp Ice Cold Water
- 1 egg beaten
- 12 oz Queso Blano cut into strips
- Oil for Frying
Instructions
- To make the dough, add flour and salt to a food processor and add the cold butter while pulsing unti dough looks like little pea-sized clumps
- Add in egg and water. Dough should form a nice mound, add more water if needed. Wrap in plastic wrap and put in fridge for 30 min.ALTERNATELY: I think you can use Pillsbury crescent roll and just skip to the wrapping stage.
- Roll out dough when cold on a floured surface into a square and cut into stips a little less than 1-inch.
- Take the cheese and wrap it on the diagonal, overlapping dough. Like a mummy wrap.
- Heat oil in cast iron skillet, fry cheese sticks on all sides
- Remove when golden brown and serve with your favorite dipping sauce!
