Beef Taquitos

Last week, I shared my recipe for "homemade" salsa.....you'll

need that recipe for these beef taquitos.

You can use ground turkey or ground beef.  I have only been using ground

turkey for the past couple of years and my family has been protesting, so

I made these with ground beef.

I made a "kid" version and an "adult" version.....the kid version had only

beef, a little bit of taco seasoning, and cheese.

The adult version had about 1-2 Tablespoons of salsa mixed with 

2-3 Tablespoons of cooked beef and then sprinkled with sharp cheddar cheese.

After trial and error, I found that it's best to spread a thin layer

of the mixture over the entire tortilla and then pick a side and roll

from that side otherwise all the meat is in the middle.

To get the tortillas crispy, my trick is to spray them with non-stick canola oil.

I baked them at 425 degrees keeping a close eye on them until they were browned....about 10 minutes.

I just added some guacamole, sour cream, corn (leftover from the salsa) and my "homemade" salsa and it was a dinner that was a hit!
