CHORIZO TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large skillet, saute the sausage over medium heat until browned - about 6 minutes (I like to break it apart into smaller pieces while it's cooking).
• Drain 1/4 cup of oil from the cooked sausage.
• Set sausage aside to cool.
• Stir salsa and cheese into the skillet of sausage, mix well.
• Place a tortilla on a work surface and spoon 1/4 cup of the sausage mixture down the center.
• Fold tortilla in half, then roll up.
• Secure with toothpicks.
• Place on foil-lined cookie sheet.
• Repeat until all sausage/tortillas are gone.
• **You can prepare ahead until this point, and keep in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake**.
• Bake, turning them halfway through cooking time so you get even browning, until filling is hot and tortilla is crisp and golden brown - about 18 minutes. **Check them at least 5 minutes early - mine were done quicker than 18 minute last time.**.
• Cut taquitos in half, crosswise.
• Serve hot with your choice of condiments!

• Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 6 minutes, until slightly tender and fragrant. Add the green chiles, chipotles, and adobo sauce, and cook for 2 minutes, until fully incorporated.

Roll the tortilla up to enclose the filling, securing with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and chorizo filling.
• In a medium, high-walled pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat until it reaches 325°F (160°C). Working in batches, fry the taquitos starting seam side down for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and crispy. Remove from the pan and let cool slightly, then remove the toothpicks.
• Arrange the taquitos on a platter and drizzle with the crema, then top with the lettuce, tomato, avocado, and any remaining cheese. Or top with lettuce, scallions, avocado, Fresno chilies, and any remaining cheese.

CHEESY TAQUITOS (CHEQUITOS) RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large saucepan over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Once the beef is browned, add the onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the salt, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, paprika, and oregano. Cook for 2-3 minutes more to allow the flavors to meld and ensure the beef is cooked through. Remove the beef mixture from the pan and set aside.
• In a clean large saucepan over medium heat, combine the shredded chicken and crushed tomatoes. Add the salt, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, paprika, and oregano. Cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.

• Slide the cheese shell out of the pan onto a cutting board and let cool for 30 seconds, then roll tightly to encase the filling. The melted cheese should stick to the outside, sealing the taquito. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Serve the taquitos with lime wedges, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
