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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the tacos will be. Look for fresh, flavorful beef, and use a good quality taco seasoning.
  • Don't overcook the beef: Overcooked beef is tough and chewy. Cook the beef until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a variety of toppings: The toppings are what really make tacos special. Try a variety of different toppings, such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
  • Serve the tacos immediately: Tacos are best served immediately after they are made. The tortillas will get soggy if they sit for too long.
