Beef Taquitos Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400°. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook them for 3 minutes, stirring often. Add the beef and use a wooden spoon or a spatula to break it up while it cooks, until it is no longer red, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of the salsa, the chili powder, and the salt and pepper. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• Place the tortillas on a plate and cover them with damp paper towels. Microwave them until warm and pliable, about 45 seconds. Top each tortilla with 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture, spreading it to an inch from the edges. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the beef.
• 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. Serve them hot with sour cream and/or salsa.

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.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Combine roast beef, pepper jack cheese, and green chilies in a bowl. Use a fork to break up the beef and mix ingredients.
• Fry tortillas in hot oil just long enough to soften, just a few seconds; drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
• Begin spooning beef mixture into tortillas making a line down the middle of the tortilla. Roll tortilla around the filling and place in frying pan with the edge of the rolled tortilla facing the bottom of the pan. Cook until the tortillas are completely browned, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Drain again on paper towels before serving.

Steps:

• Cook roast in roasting pan (or slow cooker), pouring onion soup mix, dissolved in 1 cup water, over it.

• Let cool thoroughly overnight in fridge.
• Finely chop (or shred) roast beef and mix with cheddar cheese, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper, picante sauce and onion in a large bowl.
• Portion 1/4 cup mixture onto each corn tortilla in the lower 1/3 of the tortilla.
• Roll up tortilla.
• To soften tortillas, microwave between two damp paper towels for a few seconds.
• To freeze for later, simply put seam side down on cookie sheets and freeze.
• Flash freeze on wax papered covered cookie sheets.
• When firm, transfer to ziplock freezer bags.
• To Re-heat: Thaw, then lightly fry in hot oil until brown and crispy.
• To eat them now, continue with directions for frying below.
• Heat electric skillet to 300°F covering bottom with oil.
