Beef Taquitos image

Like tacos, only neater to eat. In Mexico, they're often deep-fried, but baking them works well too. It's easier and healthier, and the tortillas still turn golden brown and crispy around the edges. Serve with salsa and sour cream.

Time 30m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus more
vegetable oil, for brushing on the taquitos
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3/4 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup salsa, plus more salsa, for dipping
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
10 (6 inch) flour tortillas
1/2 cup cheddar cheese or 1/2 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
sour cream

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400°. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook them for 3 minutes, stirring often. Add the beef and use a wooden spoon or a spatula to break it up while it cooks, until it is no longer red, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of the salsa, the chili powder, and the salt and pepper. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  • Place the tortillas on a plate and cover them with damp paper towels. Microwave them until warm and pliable, about 45 seconds. Top each tortilla with 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture, spreading it to an inch from the edges. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the beef.
  • Roll up the tortillas and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet with the seam sides down. Brush the taquitos lightly with vegetable oil, then bake them until the filling is heated through and the tortillas are lightly browned, about 8 to 12 minutes. Serve them hot with sour cream and/or salsa.

These taquitos were delicious! I used a ground turkey and black bean filling and they were so flavorful. I will definitely be making these again.

These taquitos were amazing! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still delicious. I also added some shredded cheese to the filling and they were even better. I will definitely be making these again.
