Ingredients:

Serving

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg yolk
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup water (or more as needed)
8 oz chihuahua cheese
peanut oil (for frying )

Directions:

In a large bowl, mix the flour, butter, egg yolk, sugar, salt, and water together.
Knead until very smooth, about 10 minutes. Set aside to rest for 30 minutes.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough until it is very thin.
Cut into strips 6 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Cut cheese into 2-x-1/2 inch sticks.
Take one stick of cheese, wrap it diagonally(like a spiral), overlapping the dough, and pinch together the ends.
Repeat with the remaining dough and cheese.
In an electric skillet, heat 1 inch of oil to 350ºF.
Drop in a few tequenos at a time and fry until golden, brown on both sides, 1 to 2 minutes.
Remove using a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Uncooked tequenos may be frozen for up to 6 months.
