The other night I decided to try and make taquitos by myself....I used to buy them in the store, but it just got too expensive....The Mr can eat a whole BIG box of those things to himself. Well this is another of those mexican type meals that our kids don't REALLY like, but I've noticed as they are getting older that they are trying more and more....especially like Mr E....he eats these now, and Mr A ate a couple of them....so not too bad. lol
I love the site
http://www.allrecipies.com/ when I'm looking for new things for make for dinner. So I looked on there but there was only one recipie for taquitos, and it was for chicken and The Mr likes beef ones. lol So go figure I just kinda winged it. lol I made a beef mixture....ground beef with a little minced onion, little taco seasoning, cumin, and some salsa.....made sure it was all tiny since I was putting it into the small corn tortillas. Then I heated the corn tortillas in the micro for 15 secs just for they wouldn't break when I rolled them....so I took my small scoop and pput two scoops of meat onto the tortilla, rolled it up, held it together with two kabob sticks (cuz that's what I had onhand lol) and stuck them into some hot vegtable oil to fry. The kabob sticks actually worked out nicely because they are long and it was easy to handle them with the hot oil, and then I turned them around to cook all sides....removed them and let them drain on some papertowels. I also made some refried beans, some rice (my fake mexican rice with salsa) and a salad on the side. It was really nice. The Mr's and my plate looked like it came from a mexican resturant! :-D I only took on bite of one of the taquitos because of my stomach....it was really good, but I didn't want to push it. :-D
Just wanted to share! :-D
