By popular demand...


ok... so really Linds is the only one who requested this but it really is good! Lately Trev and I have been eating taquito's about once a week! They are so easy to make and so tasty! So... here's the recipe!


what you need

ground beef (or some kind of meat... we tried chicken once but the beef has a lot more flavor)
small corn tortillas (soft)
green onions
taco seasoning (or spices from home!)
grated cheese
vegetable oil (or some other oil)

Thats all you need! Start by cooking the meat, onions and seasoning all together. Once this is done, stir in some cheese to make it more tasty! How much you need depends on how much you want to make! A little meat goes a long way since you don't put much in each tortilla. Next, heat up the oil and once its real hot, fry each tortilla for just a few seconds on each side. You just want to soften them up so don't get them crunchy yet. I put them on paper towels after to get the extra oil off. You really don't need that much. Once you've fried all the tortillas, put a spoonful of the meat inside and roll it up tight. You know how taquitos look, just make it look like that! put them on a cookie sheet and cook for about 20 minutes or until they are crunchy at 350! If they come unrolled, you can put toothpicks in them, but they usually stay together ok! It's that easy! We dip them in sour cream, salsa and guac. Yum!

Trev and I put cream cheese inside them last time and that was pretty tasty. You can pretty much put whatever you want inside! We usually eat about ten between us (to give you some idea of how much to make!) Enjoy!
