Tequeños are a classic of Venezuelan gastronomy: delicious cheese fingers wrapped in a crispy wheat flour dough, perfect as an appetizer or snack. This easy recipe lets you prepare them at home with simple ingredients and get a golden and tasty result.
The dough, made with self-rising wheat flour, butter, egg, and milk, acquires a soft and slightly flaky texture when baked. The classic filling is hard white cheese (such as queso de mano or fresh cheese), but you can use your favorite melting cheese. They are ideal for parties, gatherings, or to enjoy any time of day.
Serve tequeños hot with your favorite sauce: guasacaca, garlic sauce, or just with a touch of ketchup. Go ahead and make them to surprise everyone with this irresistible bite!
