Taquitos

Thanks Jenn for taking pics of the food! My camera is broken and I haven't been able to take pictures of what I've been making lately. I found this recipe at Camille's Casa... ok, really I just followed her instructions on the assembly and I used the filling of the Honey-Lime recipe I posted. I like that recipe, but I'm not a huge sweet eater when it comes to dinner foods. I prefer savory, but paired with the Texas Caviar (I'll post next) it was really good. Jenn ate some, what do you think??



Ok, so here it is:



Taquitos




  • 1 pkg corn tortilla's (Any amount you feel like getting, the more you have the more you can make to eat then or freeze later!)

  • Cooked Shredded and Seasoned meat (Pretty much whatever you want. I did chicken)

  • Hot frying pan with oil at about med-hi range

  • On a large plate, line it with tortillas stacked and kinda fanned. Microwave for about 45 sec to a minute. (I didn't know exactly, so I just kept checking) They should be just steamy.

  • Take a little shredded meat and place at the top of the tortilla; roll tightly. (If your tortilla keep breaking, it wasn't steamy enough. Put them back in the microwave for a few more seconds.)

  • Hold the taquitos together with toothpicks. Fry until golden.
  • Just a note: I also tried baking some in the oven at 425F for about 5-6 minutes, I sprayed mine first with a little cooking oil. They weren't as good as the fried, but definitely still tasty!

  • Eat what you want and then freeze them in freezer bags for later!
