This recipe was created for a Cinco De Mayo work potluck taco bar that was a big hit. The coffee in the recipe adds a hint of smokiness and assists with tenderizing the meat as it cooks. Serve with warm tortillas and your favorite toppings. For less heat, omit jalapenos.

Categories     Beef     Appetizer

Yield 30 Taquitos

Number Of Ingredients 7

1-2 Lbs. Lean Roast Beef
1 pkg. Onion Soup Mix
1 c. Water
A Few Shakes of Hot Sauce (To Taste)
Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Corn Tortillas (at least 30)
Oil

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.

BEEF TAQUITOS

These taquitos are so good. They can be frozen ahead of time and pulled out a few at a time for a quick dinner. Prep time includes 4 hours freeze time and 6 hours crock pot time. Also the cook time is specific to baking time, it is less if you fry them.

Time 11h11m

Yield 40 taquitos

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb beef roast (cooked in the crockpot and shredded)
2 beef bouillon cubes
6 garlic cloves
1/4 small white onion
water
2 cups monterey jack cheese (shredded)
1/4 cup green chili pepper (diced, I use fresh roasted)
120 count corn tortillas
2 cups oil

Steps:

  • Place the roast in a crock pot. Add the garlic cloves, onion, bouillon cubes, and cover the roast with water. Cook on high for 6 hours. Once the roast is cooked and fork tender cool the roast until cool enough to handle and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a saute pan on medium heat.
  • While the oil is heating you can start to assemble the meat for the taquitos.
  • Place the shredded meat, shredded cheese, and green chiles in a large bowl and toss to combine.
  • Now that your oil is heated add one tortilla at a time into the hot oil for 20 seconds on each side to "soften" the tortilla. As each tortilla is softened place them on a plate stacked on top of each other.
  • Once you have about 40 tortillas "softened" you can start preparing the taquitos.
  • Line an aluminum pan with wax paper to place your prepared taquitos on.
  • On a seperate plate, place two tablespoons of the meat mixture in the middle of a "softened" tortilla in the shape of a line going all the way across the tortilla. Gently fold one side of the tortilla over to meet the other side (it doesnt have to line up exactly. Carefully and tightly roll the tortilla into the shape of a cigar. Place the taquito seam side down on the wax paper lined pan.
  • Continue to roll the remaining tortillas. If there is leftover meat soften more tortillas to continue rolling taquitos until all the meat is gone. Cover the taquitos with plastic wrap and place the pan in the freezer for 4 hours.
  • If you are ready to prepare them you can bake them on an ungreased baking sheet for 11 minutes on 400 degrees or dry them in a pan on medium high for 2 minutes each side in two cups of oil. To keep them frozen simply take them from the pan and put the taquitos in a ziploc bag to prevent them from getting freezer burn. They freeze for up to one month.

SHREDDED BEEF FOR TACOS OR TAQUITOS



Shredded Beef for Tacos or Taquitos image

This is to easy and delicious. I use a pressure cooker for this, so it is very fast to prepare. The preparation and cooking time does not include about 15 minues of waiting time for meat to cool off. Do not use bottled or fresh salsa for this recipe. It requires the 8 oz canned salsa casera found in the Mexican food section of the market. I use Embassa brand. Herdez brand is almost as good. We usually use this for taquitos. This makes enough for 36 taquitos.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Tips:

  • Use a good quality beef: Chuck roast, brisket, or flank steak are all good choices for shredded beef taquitos.
  • Shred the beef against the grain: This will make the beef more tender and easier to eat.
  • Season the beef well: Use a combination of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to flavor the beef.
  • Use fresh tortillas: Fresh tortillas will make the taquitos more crispy and flavorful.
  • Don't overfill the taquitos: Too much filling will make the taquitos difficult to roll and they will fall apart when you fry them.
  • Fry the taquitos until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the taquitos are cooked through and crispy.
  • Serve the taquitos with your favorite toppings: Sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and shredded lettuce are all popular choices.
