Fish Taquitos recipe

1 servings

1 pound shark fillets

12 (6 inch) corn tortillas

1/4 cup canola oil

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

2 quarts vegetable oil for frying

Cut shark into strips 3/4 inch thick and 3 inches long.

Mix canola oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and Cajun style spice mix in a plastic container.

Place shark strips in container, and marinate for 1 hour.

Warm tortillas in a microwave to make them pliable.

Drain marinade, and pat shark dry with paper towels.

Place a strip of shark at one end of a tortilla, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick.

Heat oil in a deep fryer.

Submerge taquitos in hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, no more than 3 or 4 minutes each.

Drain on paper towels.

Place taquitos in a baking dish large enough to accommodate all twelve.

Sprinkle with shredded cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5 minutes, or until cheese melts.
