CHORIZO TAQUITOS

This is a fantastic recipe that you can prep ahead! I've served these taquitos, sliced in half, as appetizers. The chorizo gives them a nice zing. You may serve these with sour cream and/or guacamole on the side. This is a Sandra Lee recipe. Delish! **Note: the last time I made these, I could only find a 12 oz package of chorizo. I still kept the cheese and salsa amounts the same and it worked out fine.**

Categories     Pork

Time 40m

Yield 12 halves

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16 ounce) package beef chorizo sausage, bulk, casing removed
1 cup medium chunky salsa, drained
1 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded
6 -8 large flour tortillas
guacamole (optional)
sour cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a large skillet, saute the sausage over medium heat until browned - about 6 minutes (I like to break it apart into smaller pieces while it's cooking).
  • Drain 1/4 cup of oil from the cooked sausage.
  • Set sausage aside to cool.
  • Stir salsa and cheese into the skillet of sausage, mix well.
  • Place a tortilla on a work surface and spoon 1/4 cup of the sausage mixture down the center.
  • Fold tortilla in half, then roll up.
  • Secure with toothpicks.
  • Place on foil-lined cookie sheet.
  • Repeat until all sausage/tortillas are gone.
  • **You can prepare ahead until this point, and keep in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake**.
  • Bake, turning them halfway through cooking time so you get even browning, until filling is hot and tortilla is crisp and golden brown - about 18 minutes. **Check them at least 5 minutes early - mine were done quicker than 18 minute last time.**.
  • Cut taquitos in half, crosswise.
  • Serve hot with your choice of condiments!

CHORIZO TAQUITOS

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 12 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16-ounce, bulk) package beef chorizo sausage, casing removed
1 cup medium chunky salsa, drained
1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
6 fajita-size flour tortillas
1 cup prepared guacamole (refrigerated section)
1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large skillet, saute sausage over medium heat until browned, about 6 minutes. Drain 1/4 cup of oil from cooked sausage. Set sausage aside to cool. Stir salsa and cheese into sausage in skillet. Place 1 tortilla on a clean work surface. Spoon 1/4 cup of the sausage mixture down the center of tortilla. Fold tortilla in half, then roll up. Secure with toothpicks. Place on a foil-covered cookie sheet. Repeat 5 times. Bake until filling is hot and tortilla is crisp and golden brown, about 18 minutes. Cut taquitos in half crosswise. Serve hot with guacamole and sour cream.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chorizo: The flavor of your taquitos will be greatly influenced by the quality of the chorizo you use. Opt for a brand that is made with authentic Mexican spices and has a nice smoky flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chorizo: Chorizo is a relatively fatty meat, so it doesn't need to be cooked for very long. Overcooking can make it tough and chewy, so cook it just until it is cooked through.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Taquitos are a great way to use up leftover ingredients. Feel free to experiment with different fillings, such as beans, rice, vegetables, or cheese.
  • Make sure the tortillas are pliable: Tortillas that are too stiff will be difficult to roll and may crack. If your tortillas are stiff, warm them up in a skillet or microwave before using them.
  • Fry the taquitos until they are golden brown: This will give them a crispy exterior and help to keep the fillings from spilling out.

Conclusion:

Chorizo taquitos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a meal on their own. With a variety of fillings to choose from, there is sure to be a chorizo taquito recipe that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for something tasty to eat, give chorizo taquitos a try!
