Day 131: Taquitos

Day 131.

We love taquitos, so I was really thrilled to find a recipe for home made ones!

Here's what you do.
Photobucket
Cook a 2 1/2 lb. beef roast with some garlic and cumin and 1/2 cup water in the crockpot until meat is tender.

Photobucket
Shred the beef. I did this the day before.

When it comes to assembly, you'll need
Photobucket
The beef
2/3 cups salsa
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
24 corn tortillas

Photobucket
Combine the beef, salsa and cheese in a large bowl.

Photobucket
Slightly dampen some paper towels and place on a plate. Lightly sprinkle water on the tortillas, and sit them on the damp towels. Cover with some more damp paper towels.

Photobucket
Microwave for about 45 seconds, or until pliable.

Photobucket
Lay out one tortilla, and top with 1/4 cup beef mixture.

Photobucket
Roll up. Repeat with all tortillas.

These can be frozen now and baked later, or baked now.

Heat oven to 400*.

Photobucket
Bake for 10 minutes, or until crispy.

Some of these split open, I think I had them rolled too tight, but it didn't affect the flavor at all.
