1

Add a little salt and a little sugar to the milk and mix it well.

2

Place the milk mixture in a pot and heat it over medium heat until it heats up, but do not boil it.

3

In a bowl, add self-rising wheat flour, then pour in a little of the heated milk and add oil.

4

Mix everything very well with a whisk, adding more milk if the dough needs more moisture.

5

Knead the dough until it has a compact and smooth texture.

6

Let the dough rest for 40 minutes in a greased bowl, covered with a cloth.

7

After resting, roll out the dough with hands and a wooden rolling pin, sprinkling with flour as needed.

8

Cut off the excess dough from the sides to shape it nicely.

9

Measure and cut the dough into strips about 2 cm wide.

10

Roll the strips and sprinkle with more wheat flour to prevent sticking.

11

Place a piece of cheese at one end of each strip, roll it up, and seal the edges with a little water.

12

Heat oil and test with a small piece of dough to check if it's hot enough.

13

Fry the tequeños in batches, adding a few at a time to maintain oil temperature, until golden brown.
