*Recipe makes 10, I doubled it and we froze the extra*
INGREDIENTS:
1 tbsp - oil
1 onion - chopped
1 garlic clove; minced
1 lb - ground beef
1 cup - salsa; PLUS more for dipping if you choose
2 tsp - chilli powder
1/2 tsp - salt
1/4 tsp - garlic powder
10 - 6" flour tortillas
1/2 cup - monterey or mexican blend cheese; I ended up using like 1 1/2 cups, we love cheese!
Sour cream
STEP 1:
Heat the oven to 400ยบ. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook them for 3 minutes, stir often. Add the beef and cook, until it is no longer red, about 3 minutes
STEP 2:
Stir in 1/2 cup of the salsa, the chili powder, and the salt and pepper. Cook the mixture over low heat, stir occasionally, for 10 minutes.
STEP 3:
Place the tortillas on a plate and cover them with damp paper towels. Microwave them until warm and flexible, about 45 seconds. Top each tortilla with 1/4 cup of the beef mixture, and cheese spreading it to an inch from the edges. * I found it easiest to pour the mixture in a line right down the middle and then use a rubber spatula to spread it to the sides*
STEP 4:
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
ENJOY!

Do you girls stand over the stoves for hours at a time preparing dinner? The recipes sound sooo delicous, but I think I'm too lazy to make taquitos when I can buy them from the frozen food aisle. lol
ReplyDeleteIt used to take me such a long time to cook meals and I hated it. You learn with time short cuts, like dicing etc. while cooking the meat. Doing the dishes as you go instead of a huge pile afterwards. Cooking at home is more work that going through a drive thru but just think about the quality you are feeding yourself, husband and baby. If your baby was here would you be okay feeding him/her junk? The frozen taquitos are made with lots of salt, preservatives and unhealthy ingredients. When you make a meal at home you know what goes into it.
ReplyDeleteI made these for dinner the other night but with shredded chicken instead ground beef. They turned out great. The brush of oil on top really helped them crisp up.
