I got this recipe from Kelly. It has been a favorite around here and a healthier alternative to traditional taquitos, since these are baked, not fried.
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef (I have used ground turkey for this and I think it tastes great)
1 medium onion, chopped (I usually just use a bunch of dried onion flakes)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup salsa (I usually do closer to 3/4 cup)
2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Tortillas
grated cheese
oil (I use EVOO, but you can use vegetable too)
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Cook ground beef with onion and garlic. Drain fat.
3. Add salsa, chili powder, salt, and pepper. cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
4. Microwave tortillas until warm and pliable (about 45 seconds)
5. Place meat in center of tortillas (about 1/4 cup in each), top with grated cheese, roll tortillas and place on foil lined baking sheet, seam side down. Brush taquitos with oil.
6. Bake 8 - 10 minutes, or until tortillas are lightly browned.
I served with some homemade quacamole.
Again, another beautiful photo. You are good.
ReplyDeleteMy tortillas always fall apart...are yours white corn?
i haven't made this in forever. i ought to make it soon.
ReplyDeletethe tortillas are just flour. the key is to microwave them before you put meat and cheese in to roll.
ReplyDeleteI want to try these. They look yummy.
