Ultimate Taquitos Oamc Recipes

Steps:

• Cook roast in roasting pan (or slow cooker), pouring onion soup mix, dissolved in 1 cup water, over it.
• Cook at 325F for 34-38 minutes per pound.
• 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.
• Fry taquitos with open edge down to seal.
• Turn over fry other side.
• Serve hot with condiments.

Steps:

• Salt and pepper all sides of the roast. Brown roast on all sides in a hot pan with a few tablespoons of oil.
• Dissolve onion soup mix in 1 c hot water. Pour over the roast.
• Roast the meat about 3 1/2 hours at 325F, until tender. Cool roast.
• Finely chop beef.
• In a (very large) bowl, mix beef, beans, corn, cheese, salsa, and onions.
• In a wide, shallow, pan, heat oil to medium-low heat.
• One at a time and using tongs, dip the tortillas into the hot oil for 2 to 4 seconds, just until they begin to bubble. Place the hot tortilla aside. (I usually do four at a time and place them on a cutting board with a little rim that catches any oozing oil.).
• Place about 1/4 to 1/3 c filling mix in the tortilla and snugly wrap it up like a little burrito. (Depending on the brand/size of tortillas, you might want a bit more or less filling. A little less filling and you have a skinnier more appetizer shaped taquito or, stuff in as much as you can and you have a more hearty taquito. Using 1/4 c, you'll get about 80 taquitos.).
• Place taquitos in a freezer container, seam side down so they don't unroll. They don't stick to one another badly since they are coated in oil, but I do like to put a layer of wax paper between layers if I am stacking them in a deep container.
• Freeze.
• To serve, bake the taquitos on a cookie sheet at 400F about 20 to 25 minutes, until hot. (Baking time will vary with the size of the taquitos. If they are not frozen, reduce baking time.)
• Serve with sour cream, salsa, chopped tomatoes, chopped lettuce, and/or guacamole or just eat them plain.

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.
