Preheat a skillet with about 1 tablespoon of oil.

Add chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until soft.

Add shredded roasted chicken to the skillet with the onions and mix.

Warm the corn tortillas until pliable, ensuring to use the thinner side for rolling.

Fill each tortilla with a small amount of the chicken mixture.

Roll the tortillas tightly, folding the thinner side in first to prevent cracking.

If not frying all at once, place rolled taquitos in a ziplock bag or cover with saran wrap to keep them from hardening.

Preheat the skillet with oil again for frying the taquitos.

Place the rolled taquitos seam-side down in the hot oil to seal them.

Fry the taquitos until golden and crispy, flipping them as needed for even cooking.

Remove the taquitos from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
