Add the chopped chicken, peel it well with the pieces of a teaspoon of Madeira and season it with the cumin, the sweet pimenton, the salt and the pimiento. Mix and refrigerate for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat, let it cool completely and then add the chopped fresh cebolleta and the sweet Provolone Valpadana DOP to the taquitos. Reserve.
