• 250g flour
• 50g butter, melted
• 1 egg
• 100ml warm water
• ½ tsp salt
• 200g queso fresco or mozzarella, in fingers
• oil for frying
• guacamole to dip

👩‍🍳 Method

1. Mix the flour, butter, egg, water and salt into a smooth dough and rest it 20 min.
2. Roll it thin and cut into strips about 12cm by 5cm.
3. Lay a finger of cheese diagonally at one end and roll it up tightly, sealing the ends with wet fingers.
4. The seal matters. Any gap and the cheese escapes into the oil and takes the tequeño with it.
5. Fry at 180°C for 2–3 min until golden and blistered.
6. Drain and eat hot, dipped in guacamole. Cold tequeños are a different, sadder food.
