Ingredients
  

Soup:

  • 7 oz fideo pasta
  • 15 oz tomato sauce
  • 1 small piece white onion
  • 10 cups chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoon Better Than Bouillon chicken base
  • 1 teaspoon tomato bouillon
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 handful fresh cilantro
  • 2 tablespoon avocado oil

Taquitos and toppings:

  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
  • 1 cup crumbled queso fresco
  • avocado oil for shallow frying
  • Mexican crema or sour cream to serve
  • extra queso fresco to serve
  • sliced avocado to serve

Instructions
 

  • Warm 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the dry fideo and onion piece. Stir often until the noodles are lightly golden in patches.
  • Stir in the tomato sauce and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, chicken base, tomato bouillon, oregano, and cilantro. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer and cook about 10 minutes, until the noodles are tender. Remove the onion and taste before adding salt.
  • Warm the corn tortillas until pliable. Divide the cooked shredded chicken and crumbled queso fresco among them, then roll each tightly.
  • Pour enough avocado oil into a skillet to lightly coat the bottom. Fry the taquitos seam-side down over medium heat, turning until golden and crisp. Drain on a rack or paper towels.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls. Serve the taquitos alongside, with crema, extra queso fresco, and avocado to taste.
