Poquito and Grande: Taquitos and Burritos image

I made this Rachael Ray recipe when we had a group of friends over -- someone made the taquitos, I made the burritos, and I had made the sauce ahead of time and just reheated it. Using rotisserie chicken makes the taquitos especially easy to prepare. I've also made only the burritos when it's just for the 3 of us. (Some of the prep/sauteeing is done while other parts of the dishes are cooking, so it actually takes less time than listed below.)

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

4 ounces chopped green chilies, canned
2 -3 leaves fresh cilantro or 2 -3 leaves flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
vegetable oil
12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves (grated or finely minced)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
12 teaspoons ground cumin
1 pinch ground cinnamon
salt and pepper
28 ounces crushed fire-roasted tomatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 lbs ground pork
1 small zucchini, grated
2 garlic cloves (grated or finely minced)
2 -3 tablespoons canned chipotle chiles in adobo, chopped and mashed into a paste
salt
19 ounces black beans
pepper
8 (8 inch) flour tortillas
2 cups monterey jack cheese or 2 cups cheddar cheese
1/2 head iceberg lettuce or 1/2 head romaine lettuce, shredded

Steps:

  • TO MAKE TAQUITOS:.
  • Preheat oven to 350°. Season the shredded chicken with cumin, oregano, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir in the chilies and cilantro or parsley. Pour about 1 inch of oil into a skillet and heat over medium heat until warm, not hot. Dip the tortillas in the oil just to soften. Do not brown. Roll up a couple forkfuls of chicken mixture in each tortilla and place them in a baking dish. Bake for 12 minutes.
  • TO MAKE DIPPING SAUCE:.
  • Heat a saucepot over medium heat and add olive oil, red onion; cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Season with the sugar, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper, and stir in the fire-roasted tomatoes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer.
  • TO MAKE BURRITOS:.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the pork, breaking up into little pieces, and cook for 2 minutes to brown. Then add the zucchini, garlic, chipotle in adobo, and salt. Cook for 7-8 minutes longer.
  • Heat the last tablespoon of olive in a small nonstick skillet. Add the black beans and mash with a fork. Season the beans with salt and pepper, and fry until crisp at the edges, 3-4 minutes.
  • Soften the flour tortillas in a microwave or hot oven very briefly; do not let cook. On each tortilla, place a little of the black bean mixture, cheese, pork and lettuce. Tuck in the sides, then wrap and roll the tortilla.
  • Arrange taquitos and burritos on individual serving plates; pass the dipping sauce at the table or put into small condiment dishes for each person.

These taquitos and burritos are delicious, but they're a bit too spicy for my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my taquitos and burritos turned out dry and bland.

I love the combination of flavors in these taquitos and burritos. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the avocado crema is the perfect finishing touch.

I'm not a big fan of Mexican food, but I really enjoyed these taquitos and burritos. The flavors were well-balanced and the tortillas were crispy.

The taquitos were a little too greasy for my taste, but the burritos were perfect.

The recipe was easy to follow and the ingredients were easy to find. I made a few substitutions, such as using ground turkey instead of beef, and the dish still turned out great.

These taquitos and burritos were a hit with my family! The filling was flavorful and the tortillas were cooked to perfection. I especially loved the addition of the avocado crema, which added a creamy and tangy flavor to the dish.
