Don't you just love a nice warm, crispy
taquito? Well, now you don't have to buy the frozen kind because you can make them at home with ease! :) In fact, you won't even have to fry them!!
Taquitos:
~15 corn tortillas (Mine were white corn, just fyi)
1.5 c. beef or chicken, shredded
1/4 t. chili powder
1/4 t. paprika
Salt/Pepper to taste
Spray oil
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Then get out the tortillas, and mix the chicken (or beef) with the chili powder, paprika, and a touch of salt and pepper. (You can make these as spicy or not as you would like!)
2. Assemble the taquitos. (See pic below.) Lay out one tortilla, put about 1 T. of meat mixture in a line in the middle and carefully roll up. You can then put them on a baking sheet and continue to do the rest...*
*=but in order to prevent this (below) from possibly happening.....
I recommend securing each taquito with a toothpick as shown below. :)
3. Once all taquitos have been assembled place them on a baking sheet, lightly spray them with the cooking oil spray and sprinkle a touch of salt on the tops of them. Then bake for 12-15minutes or until golden and crispy! :)
Enjoy!! :) You may serve them with salsa, guacamole and/or queso!
