How to Make Tequeños: A Step-by-Step Guide

If you've never had tequeños before, you're in for a treat. These fried cheese sticks are a popular snack in Venezuela, and they're super easy to make at home. All you need is some cheese, dough, and a deep fryer (or a pot and some oil). Here's how to do it:


  1. Start by grating your cheese. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but mozzarella or queso blanco work well. Aim for about 1/4 cup of grated cheese per tequeño.

  2. Next, roll out your dough. You can use store-bought puff pastry or make your own with flour, water, and a little bit of salt. Roll out the dough into a thin rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick.

  3. Cut the dough into strips that are about 1 inch wide and 4 inches long. Place a small amount of grated cheese at one end of each strip.

  4. Roll the dough around the cheese, forming a cylinder shape. Make sure the cheese is fully enclosed in the dough, with no gaps or holes.

  5. Heat some oil in a deep fryer or a pot on the stove. The oil should be at least 2 inches deep and heated to 350-375 degrees Fahrenheit.

  6. Carefully place the tequeños in the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes, until they're golden brown and crispy.

  7. Remove the tequeños from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil. Repeat the frying process until all of the tequeños are cooked.

  8. Serve the tequeños hot, with your choice of dipping sauce. A simple garlic mayonnaise or a spicy aji dipping sauce are both delicious options.

And that's it! With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of frying, you can enjoy a batch of delicious tequeños at home. They're the perfect snack for parties, game days, or just a tasty treat any time. So, give this recipe a try and let us know how it turns out!

Remeber that if you don't want to make them, you can order tequeños from Peter's Panas to your doorstep if you live in United Kingdom!
