In a bowl, add all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt, and mix until well combined.

Make a hole in the center and add the egg, melted butter, and water.

Whisk together until combined, then mix with a spatula until the mixture is no longer wet.

Knead the dough with hands until it forms a dough, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Place the dough in a bowl and oil it to prevent drying, then cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

After resting, roll out the dough on a floured surface until thin and rectangular.

Cut the dough into long strips using a pizza cutter.

Wrap each strip around a piece of white cheese, ensuring it is fully covered.

Fry the tequeños in a pan over medium heat until golden brown, flipping as needed, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove and drain on paper towels.
