I'm looking for how to make chili crispitos. I ate them in school and I've looked all over the internet for the recipe. All I can find are school lunch menus. Please help me!

We used to buy ours through Market Day at school, now they only offer them at certain times which I think is really inconvenient. Just a suggestion though, we serve ours like this: Bake them, on each ones plate top with nacho cheese from Sam's Club with green chilies in it (you have to add the green chilies yourself), lettuce, tomato, onion, and sour cream, my family of 5 love them. We just wish we could get them more often.

I used to work at a Mexican restaurant that served these. You got 2 deep fried crispitoes and they were topped with cheese sauce, a little bit of chili, chopped lettuce, onions, and tomato, sliced black olives and jalapeno peppers, a heaping tablespoon each of sour cream and guacamole. It was a very filling meal and was delicious. I make them at home sometimes when I am having company. You can also fix the chicken crispitoes this way.

BETTER Taco Bell's Crispitos
Ingredients:
1/8 cup cinnamon
1/2 cup sugar
10 flour tortillas
Oil -- for frying
Honey -- for dipping

Cooking Directions:
Mix together cinnamon and sugar very well. In a dutch oven, or large skillet heat the oil to 350 degrees. If you do not have a thermometer, you can set it on medium-high, but be carefull to watch that it doesn't get too hot and begin to smoke. Quarter the tortillas and deep fry 2 to 4 at a time. Allow them to cook on one side for about 30 seconds or until golden brown, turn over, and repeat. When both sides are brown take out, and place on paper towels to drain. While the tortillas are draining liberally sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar mixture. These are really great with honey.

These sound similiar to the various products you can buy in the frozen section of the Grocery, sometimes they are corn tortillas, sometimes flour. ChiChi's used to have something called a Mexican Spring Roll that is also similiar, Perkins now serves something simliar in their appetizers section. This is a recipe I found online under "taquito." Try it and adapt as necessary!

Chicken Taquitos
Authentic Mexican Recipe!

Boneless Chicken breast or other parts
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. oregano
2 Tbls. Chili Powder
2 garlic cloves OR 1 tsp. garlic powder
1 medium onion, red preferred
2 medium bell peppers
3 Tbls. cooking oil
1 can tomatoes, whole or chopped
2 cups chicken broth
salt, to taste
12 to 24 Soft Tortillas

In a 4-quart pan, add chicken breasts and salt. Cover with water. Bring to a boil, loosely cover. Cook over medium low heat for one hour. Drain, saving the broth. Set Chicken aside to cool.

Ehen cooled, chop into small pieces. In the same pot add the oil. Saute the onion and diced bell peppers. Cook over low heat until lightly sauted.

Add the chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes.

In a blender, place the tomatoes, chili powder, garlic, cumin, and oregano. Blend well.

Pour mixture into pan along with 2 cups of the broth. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer about 15-20 minutes. Add salt, to taste.

Heat oil in a skillet. Cook corn tortillas, one at a time, in hot oil until soft, about 5-10 seconds. Drain on prepared plate covered with paper towels.

Strain liquid, then spoon 1 Tablespoon of the chicken meat into the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla around the chicken filling into a fluted shape. Use toothpicks to hold the tortilla in shape.

Fry the chicken taquitos approximately 2-3 minutes or until the tortilla holds its shape.

Better taquitos are on the soft side, not crispy. You need toturn them only once.

Serve with Mexican Rice or with Salsa, sour cream and Gaucamole on the side, usually 2-3 taquitos per plate.

Enjoy!

See the Mexican Rice Recipe under Tijuana Rice!

To tell the truth, I had never heard of Chili Cheese Crispitos...but they sound delicious. The recipe I found says to make them with chicken chili but I'm sure you could use whatever kind you like. I hope these are what you're looking for: http://www.marketday.com/products/o ... asp?cat=All2&itemid=4429&sk=0&catid=

I do not know how to make them, but I know if you live in or around Alabama that you can buy them from southeastern meats. You can buy a nice size bag of them for about $9.00.
