Step-by-step
- Using a heavy bottomed pan, heat enough oil to come 1 inch up the sides of the pan over medium high heat
- Melt butter and mix in garlic powder and parsley
- Using a brush or a spoon, spread the melted butter onto one side of each tortilla
- Lay as many pepperoni slices as you'd like on the buttered side of the tortilla
- At the top of the tortilla, lay one thick line of shredded cheese
- Roll the tortilla tightly so that the cheese is in the middle (tip: At the very end of the roll, place a small amount of shredded cheese before you close the tortilla. It will help the taquito stay together when it is fried!)
- In batches of two to three at a time, place taquitos seam side down carefully in the oil
- Cook for about one minute on each side or until outside becomes golden. (Note: I don't like my taquitos super crispy, I prefer them a little soft on the inside. Make them as crispy as you'd like!)
- Remove from oil onto a paper towel lined plate
- Enjoy with warm pizza sauce for dipping
