APPETIZER ESSENTIALS: SAUSAGE & CHEESE TAQUITOS

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
• Add the chopped onions, oregano, and the Italian sausage to a skillet over medium heat.
• Use a wooden spoon or spatula to break up the sausage, and stir until the sausage is cooked though, and the onions softened, about 8 - 10 minutes.
• Chef's Note: If you are using the crushed red pepper flakes, now is the time to add them.
• Reduce the heat to medium low, and add the two cheeses, and the pizza sauce to the skillet.
• Cook and stir, until the cheeses are beginning to melt into the sausage.
• Add about 2 tablespoons of the sausage mixture down the middle of a flour tortilla.
• Chef's Note: I am using a small size flour tortilla (Street Tacos), they are about 5 inches (12.5cm).
• Chef's Tip: If the flour tortillas are a bit puffy, then I recommend flattening them out with a rolling pin.
• Tightly roll up the taquitos (think Cuban cigars).
• Brush with a bit of grapeseed oil.
• COOKING METHODS You have three choices for cooking the taquitos: METHOD ONE: Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 375f (190c), then cook on a parchment-lined baking sheet until golden brown, about 12 - 14 minutes. METHOD TWO: Set your air fryer to 400f (205c), and cook until golden brown, about 8 - 10 minutes. METHOD THREE: Add about 1 inch (2.5cm), of grapeseed oil to a pan over medium/medium-high heat to 350f (175c), and fry the taquitos until golden brown, about 2 - 3 minutes. In all three methods, cook or fry, seam-side down.
• PLATE/PRESENT
• Serve while still nice and warm with your favorite pizza sauce, or whatever dipping sauce you choose. Enjoy.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
