All but one of us here LOVE tacos, burritos and enchiladas. Tonight I am trying something a little different hoping to please the whole family, taquitos. My recipe calls for shredded chicken (canned or rotisserie works well) but I have pork left over from last night's supper and will be using that. Ground beef would work well also.
Season the meat as for tacos, add a can of chopped green chilies, and cilantro. The recipe calls for corn tortillas but I can't see why flour wouldn't work. If you use flour skip the next step, if you use corn, read on. . .
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet, dip the corn tortillas in, working and rolling one at a time, to soften them up. (Corn tortillas are a little hard to deal with. They don't soften up like flour ones do and tend to crack when rolled.)
place 2 tablespoons of meat on tortilla, top with a little cheese, roll up like a cigar and lay seam side down in a pan. Bake at 425 for 10 - 12 minutes.
Serve with salsa, guacamole, nacho cheese, ranch, whatever you like best. I am going to try a few with re fried beans or black beans for my picky eater.
Enjoy your fiesta!
