Chorizo Cheese Taquito With Tomatillo Mint Salsa Recipes

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!

CRISPY CHORIZO & CHEESE TACO-QUESADILLAS WITH SIMPLE SALSA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• If making the chorizo, in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the paprika, cumin, ancho chile powder, chili powder, oregano, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, ground pork, vinegar, and garlic. Mix until well combined.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the chorizo and cook until the fat has rendered and the chorizo is crisp. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and discard the excess fat.
• Sprinkle the cheese over the tortillas, then top with the chorizo.
• Return the tortillas to the pan and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crisp, 3-4 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, make the salsa: Coat the tomatoes, peppers, and garlic with olive oil and salt, then spread on a baking sheet. Roast under the broiler for 5-10 minutes, until charred in spots.
• Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender and purée until smooth. Stir in the lemon juice and season with more salt to taste.
• Serve the taco-quesadillas with salsa and pickles.
• Enjoy!

CHORIZO CHEESE TAQUITO WITH TOMATILLO MINT SALSA

Steps:

• Prepare salsa by combining tomatoes, tomatillos, garlic, mint, parsley, and fennel. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Slice tomatillos in half, lengthwise and remove stem end and core. Scoop out and discard the seeds, leaving as much pulp as possible. Place tomatillos, cut side up on baking sheet. Combine garlic and oil and spoon over the tomatoes, then season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven to let cool. Cut tomatillos in halves.
• While the tomatillos are roasting, remove casings from chorizo and brown in a fry pan over medium heat.
• While the meat is browning, heat the canola oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F. Lay the tortillas out on a utility platter.
• Remove the browned sausage meat from heat, drain any extra fat from the pan, then add brie and let the cheese melt into the meat. Stir in the roasted tomatillos, yogurt and green onions.
• Spoon the meat/cheese mixture evenly into each of the tortillas. Roll them closed and secure with toothpicks. Deep-fry until golden brown and drain on paper toweling. Remove toothpicks before serving. Serve with tomatillo mint salsa.

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.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the Parmesan and Mexican-blend cheeses.
• Heat a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Add about ¼ cup (25 G) of cheese to the center of the pan and spread into a circle. Let the cheese melt, then add a spoonful of beef or chicken filling to the bottom of the circle.
• 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.
• Enjoy!
