Tequeños
Tequeños is a popular Venezuelan dish made of fried breaded cheese sticks. They are typically served as a snack or appetizer and are enjoyed for their crispy texture and gooey cheese filling.
Ingredients
- 1 package pre-made empanada dough or puff pastry
- 8 oz white cheese (such as queso blanco or mozzarella), cut into sticks
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oil in a deep fryer or a large pan over medium heat.
- Take a piece of dough and place a cheese stick at one end.
- Roll the dough around the cheese stick, making sure to seal the edges tightly.
- Repeat with the remaining cheese sticks and dough.
- Carefully fry the tequeños in the hot oil until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
