Time 11h11m

Yield 40 taquitos

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb beef roast (cooked in the crockpot and shredded)
2 beef bouillon cubes
6 garlic cloves
1/4 small white onion
water
2 cups monterey jack cheese (shredded)
1/4 cup green chili pepper (diced, I use fresh roasted)
120 count corn tortillas
2 cups oil

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.

TOOTHPICK BEEF TAQUITOS



Toothpick Beef Taquitos image

I made my own ground beef by grinding beef brisket, and I made salsa using my salsa recipe, but this certainly works perfectly well with prepared ingredients.

Provided by Late Night Gourmet

Categories     Cheese

Time 2h

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 lbs ground beef
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 bell pepper, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon file powder (optional)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup salsa (I used homemade salsa verde)
30 small corn tortillas, 5-inch diameter
4 ounces canola oil

Steps:

  • Blend beef thoroughly with cumin, chili powder, peppers, and file powder and refrigerate for at least an hour to allow flavors to settle.
  • Pan cook beef until partly browned. Add onions, bell peppers, and garlic and cook until meat is browned and vegetables are softened. Drain. Combine with cheese and salsa.
  • If using a deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F If using a pan, add enough oil to coat the surface of the pan and raise to medium heat.
  • Microwave a few tortillas at a time on a paper towel to make the tortillas pliable. I warmed 4 tortillas for 45 seconds.
  • Add a heaping tablespoon of beef, cheese, and salsa mixture to the center of a tortilla. Roll tortilla as tightly as possible and secure with a toothpick. NOTE: push filling in from both sides so keep it from falling out while frying.
  • Cook a few taquitos at a time. If deep frying, cook for a few minutes or until golden brown. If using a pan, flip over after a few minutes and cook until both sides are golden brown.
  • Move to drying rack with a paper towel underneath and allow to drain. When cool, remove toothpicks.

Tips:

  • Use flank steak or skirt steak for the best results. These cuts of meat are relatively inexpensive and cook quickly.
  • Make sure the meat is thinly sliced against the grain. This will help it cook evenly and make it easier to chew.
  • Season the meat well with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. This will give it a delicious flavor.
  • Cook the meat in a hot skillet until it is browned on all sides. Do not overcook it, or it will become tough.
  • To make the taquitos, fill a tortilla with some of the cooked meat, cheese, and salsa. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish.
  • Bake the taquitos in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and crispy. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo.

Conclusion:

Beef taquitos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or potlucks. With a few simple tips, you can make the best beef taquitos that your friends and family will love.
