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.

  • 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:

  • Choose the right beef: For the best flavor, use a high-quality chuck roast or flank steak.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Cook the beef properly: Cook the beef until it is tender and slightly pink in the center. Overcooking will make the beef tough.
  • Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas make a big difference in the taste of taquitos. You can find fresh tortillas at most grocery stores.
  • Fill the tortillas evenly: When filling the tortillas, be sure to distribute the beef, cheese, and other fillings evenly. This will help to prevent the taquitos from falling apart.
  • Fry the taquitos until they are golden brown: Frying the taquitos until they are golden brown will help to seal in the flavor and give them a crispy texture.
  • Serve the taquitos with your favorite toppings: Taquitos can be served with a variety of toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.

Conclusion:

Taquitos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With a few simple tips, you can make taquitos that are sure to impress your friends and family.
