• 40 grams of margarine.
• 100 milliliters of water.
• 10 grams of sugar.
• 5 grams of salt.
• 0.1 grams of yeast.
• Hard salted cheese.

Preparation process:

• All the ingredients must be mixed, except the cheese and kneading is started until a fairly homogeneous mass is reached. If the dough is still a bit sticky you can continue to sprinkle a little more flour, and continue kneading until it is consistent and smooth.

• Then let the dough repodar by a space of 40 minutes. Then the dough is stretched with the help of a roller, until a sheet about 1 mm wide is obtained. And we cut it into long strips.

• Once the ready mass strips are ready, the tequeños are assembled. Cut the cheese in the form of thin sticks and wrap it with the strip of dough in a spiral, trying to make the cheese is well sealed.

• Tequeños are frying, making sure that the oil is very hot, so that they do not burn during cooking, you can control the fire flame by lowering it a little. They are left to brown on all sides and then they are removed and drained on a napkin, to remove excess oil.
