What is a crispito?

A crispito is a type of fried snack that is similar in shape and size to a taquito or rolled taco. It typically consists of a flour tortilla that is filled with ingredients such as seasoned ground beef, cheese, and sometimes beans or vegetables. The tortilla is then rolled up tightly and deep-fried until crispy. Crispitos are often served as a grab-and-go snack or as a menu item at fast food restaurants, schools, and convenience stores. They can be enjoyed on their own or dipped in salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
