This is a staple in our home because it's easy and "no veggetables" in it. PLUS, I will double this and roll up the taquitos put on an oven sheet in the freezer to freeze. Then I put them in a gallon ziplock bag. Super easy to throw on a tray later and cook. I like using the small fajita size tortillas better because I don't like meat as much. Guacamole is a must. AND I will many times make 50% of my taquitos with just cheese in them so we have meat ones and cheese ones. Anyway, there's my friend's recipe.
Baked Taquitos
(Cianne Wallin)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Brown:
1 lb. ground meat/turkey
1 clove garlic, minced
Stir in:
1/2 c. salsa
2 tsp. chili powder (I've made w/o before and it's fine)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
Cook over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Warm tortillas in microwave. Place 1/4 c. meat mixture down the middle and
sprinkle with grated cheese. (I use a Mexican blend, but cheddar or
Monterey Jack would be fine too.)
Roll tightly and place on a baking sheet. Spray with a very LIGHT spray of
olive oil cooking spray. (this makes the crunch on the outside so this step can't be skipped) Bake taquitos for 15-20 minutes - until edges
brown. Serve with salsa, sour cream and guacamole.

Ooh, these look delicious and way easier than what I imagined!! Brons would love the all cheese ones, and I already know the meat ones would be my favorites!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOk, now I'm laughing because the first thing I noticed is that this doesn't have cream cheese and my taquito recipe does. Maybe I should swap and use this recipe, and then I could use all the cream cheese in the other :) Taquitos are a favorite around here. And yes, the little bit of cooking spray is a must!!
ReplyDeleteOk, so we made this last week like I told you and loved it. I had my knife and for ready to dig in when I realized I could just pick it up with my hands and just dip in guacamole, sour cream, etc. Please tell me you also eat this with your hands!!!!! Gabe said it would be the perfect snack/meal for the Superbowl and I said DONE! I hate cooking breakfast every Sunday! I don't like the smell and especially now that I'm pregnant it's even worse. So I can't tell you how excited I am to have these tomorrow and not cook eggs and bacon!! :)
