Description

Directions

• In a medium skillet, over low heat, mix your meat, water, and taco seasoning. Stir until warmed through. Remove from heat.
• Place your tortillas on a plate and cover with a clean dish towel. Place in microwave and heat for one and a half to two minutes until all tortillas are steaming hot.
• Carefully remove a tortilla from the covered plate. Lay the tortilla flat. Place 2 Tablespoons grated cheese and 2 Tablespoons meat down the center of the tortilla.
• Grab the outside edge of one side of the tortilla and cover the meat and cheese. Gently pull back to tighten your roll. Continue rolling until you reach the outer opposite edge. Using a toothpick, lace it down and back up through the tortilla, like you would a needle in fabric, to hold the edge down and keep the taquito rolled. Continue filling and tacking down until you have filled all the tortillas.
• In a medium skillet pour a half inch of vegetable oil. Heat over medium heat, on back burner, until hot enough to fry a tortilla crunchy.
• Lay the taquitos toothpick side down first. Fry until golden brown. Using tongs or two fork carefully turn the taquitos over and fry until the other side is golden brown. 2-3 minutes per side.
• Remove from oil and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
• Serve with more grated cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
