Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative that binds well.

Put 150 ML of water in a bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon of dry granulated yeast to the water and mix.

Add 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar to the mixture and mix well.

Add 2 whole eggs to the mixture and beat it.

Gradually add 530 grams of flour while mixing with a spatula, sifting the flour to integrate it smoothly.

Once all the flour is added, start kneading the dough for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Add 50 grams of butter to the dough and continue kneading until well integrated.

Form the dough into a ball and cover it, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, divide the dough into two parts and roll it out on a floured surface to a thickness of about half a centimeter.

Cut the cheese into strips, approximately two fingers thick.

Using a pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into strips about 2 fingers wide.

Take a cheese stick and place it on a dough strip, stretching the dough slightly to fit.

Wrap the dough around the cheese stick diagonally, ensuring it is tight and secure.

Once wrapped, cut off any excess dough and press the ends to seal.

Repeat the wrapping process for all cheese sticks.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan to 170 ºC using a thermometer to check the temperature.

Fry the tequeños in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
