Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: Combine the crab meat, chopped shrimp, cream cheese, shredded cheese, and green onions in a mixing bowl. Add garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to taste, and mix until smooth.
- Assemble the Taquitos: Lay a tortilla flat, spoon about two tablespoons of filling onto the bottom third, and roll tightly, tucking the sides in to hold shape.
- Heat the Oil: In a skillet, heat 1 inch of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Test readiness with a small piece of tortilla; it should sizzle.
- Fry the Taquitos: Place a few taquitos seam-side down in the skillet, frying for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange on a platter, serve warm with dipping sauces like salsa or guacamole.

Notes
Opt for fresh seafood and slightly warm tortillas before filling for better rolling. Avoid overcrowding the pan while frying to maintain oil temperature for crispy results.
