In a cast iron pan on medium heat add olive oil and garlic, cook until fragrant, now add mushrooms and kalamata olives
Add seasonings to pan and stir well, cook five to ten minutes stirring occasionally
Place mushroom and olive mixture into a blender or food processor and blend until you have a shredded texture (don't over blend)
While the mixture is in the blender add onions and jalapeños into cast iron pan stir for a few minutes then add mushroom and olive mixture, stir until well combined
Line up tortillas and scoop filling onto each one, evenly shape filling and add queso on top
Pour oil into pan enough to cover half of each taquito and heat oil to 350°
Roll each tortilla up keeping them as thin and tight as possible
Once oil is ready place taquitos into pan three at a time and fry for two minutes each side, remove taquitos and repeat process until finished
Allow taquitos to cool and dry for five minutes, garnish with fresh chopped cilantro, fresh squeezed lime and enjoy???? #threebunnies
