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.

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.

BEEF TAQUITOS (OAMC)
I don't know about you guys but I cheat sometimes and buy taquitos from the freezer section of the grocery. I knew there had to be a way to make me feel less guilty so thus became the taquito recipe. I think you could do this with chicken also, but have yet to do it yet.

YUCATAN BEEF TAQUITOS WITH RED RICE
Steps:
- Make the Beef: In a large pot, combine the steak, stock, onion, cilantro, garlic, and bay. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until very tender, about 2 hours. Remove bay leaf. Let cool and shred the beef. (Strain the stock and reserve for another use.)
- Meanwhile, make the Taquitos: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the tomato, onion, cilantro, and chipotle and cook, stirring, until soft. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let cool and mix with the shredded beef.
- In a large saucepan, pour the oil to a depth of 2 inches. Heat the oil over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil reads 365 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the tortillas until just limp (not crisp!), about 2 to 3 seconds.
- Mix a little flour and water together in a small bowl to make a paste. Fill each tortilla with about 1 1/2 ounces of the beef filling and roll to form a tube. Seal each taquito with the paste. Refrigerate the taquitos until ready to serve.
- Make the Red Beans: Puree the tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a blender.
- Put the rice in a strainer in the sink and rinse, letting the water run over it for at least 5 minutes. Drain the rice and shake to remove any excess moisture.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, over medium heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add the tomato puree and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook, covered, for 25 minutes.
- Remove the rice from the heat and let rest for 10 minutes. Fluff the rice with a
- fork. Stir in the carrots and peas.
- Reheat the oil to 365 degrees F. and fry the taquitos until crispy and hot. Serve immediately with the rice and beef.

SHREDDED BEEF TAQUITOS
Steps:
- Sear beef on all sides and put in crock-pot with onion soup mix, water, and hot sauce. Heat on low for 8-10 hours. Remove beef from crock-pot and shred. Soften corn tortillas in oil and let drain on paper towels. Add a little cheese and beef to each tortilla and roll up (remember to add cheese first, THEN beef.. that way the cheese won't melt out). Place taquitos seam-side down on a lightly greased cookie sheet at 400-degrees for 6-8 minutes. Turn taquitos once and bake for another 5-6 minutes or until taquitos are nice, golden brown, and slightly crispy (you could also deep fry them if you'd rather). Serve with sour cream, salsa and/or guacamole.
TOOTHPICK BEEF TAQUITOS
I made my own ground beef by grinding beef brisket, and I made salsa using my salsa recipe, but this certainly works perfectly well with prepared ingredients.

Steps:
- Blend beef thoroughly with cumin, chili powder, peppers, and file powder and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to settle.
- Pan cook beef until partly browned. Add onions, bell peppers, and garlic and cook until meat is browned and vegetables are softened. Drain. Combine with cheese and salsa.
- If using a deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F If using a pan, add enough oil to coat the surface of the pan and raise to medium heat.
- Microwave a few tortillas at a time on a paper towel to make the tortillas pliable. I warmed 4 tortillas for 45 seconds.
- Add a heaping tablespoon of beef, cheese, and salsa mixture to the center of a tortilla. Roll tortilla as tightly as possible and secure with a toothpick. NOTE: push filling in from both sides so keep it from falling out while frying.
- Cook a few taquitos at a time. If deep frying, cook for a few minutes or until golden brown. If using a pan, flip over after a few minutes and cook until both sides are golden brown.
- Move to drying rack with a paper towel underneath and allow to drain. When cool, remove toothpicks.
Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas: Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for taquitos, but you can also use flour tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to heat them up before filling them, as this will make them more pliable and less likely to crack.
- Use a variety of fillings: Taquitos can be filled with a variety of meats, vegetables, and cheeses. Some popular fillings include shredded chicken, ground beef, black beans, potatoes, and cheese. You can also add seasonings and spices to your fillings to taste.
- Don't overfill the taquitos: This will make them difficult to roll and fry. Aim for about 1/4 cup of filling per taquito.
- Roll the taquitos tightly: This will help to keep the filling inside the taquitos while they are frying.
- Fry the taquitos in hot oil: This will help to create a crispy outer shell. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this will cause the oil temperature to drop and the taquitos will not fry evenly.
- Serve the taquitos with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular dipping sauces for taquitos include guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.
Conclusion:
Taquitos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. With a variety of fillings and dipping sauces to choose from, there's sure to be a taquito recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty snack, give taquitos a try!
