Oriental Beef Taquitos Recipes

ORIENTAL BEEF TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Combine ground beef, egg, Accent, green onions, soy sauce, salt and pepper.
• Place some of meat mixture down the middle of a corn tortilla; how much will depend on the size of the tortillas and how big you want them to turn out. Roll up into a cylinder shape (you may want to place a toothpick through the taquito to keep it from unrolling when you fry it).
• Repeat until all of the meat mixture is gone.
• Heat oil to 350°F.
• Drop taquitos in a few at a time (don't overcrowd your pan). Fry until tortilla is golden and meat is cooked through (about 2 minutes).
• Place on paper towels to drain and sprinkle with salt.
• Serve while hot.

OVEN BAKED BEEF TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF and line a rimmed baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Lightly oil the parchment paper.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot add beef and cook until no longer pink, about 4-6 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
• Add the paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper and cook for 1 minute. Shut off the heat, and let cool slightly before transferring the mixture to a bowl.
• Add the refried beans and shredded cheese to the bowl and mix together until well combined.
• Warm tortillas up either in a hot cast-iron skillet or in the microwave until malleable. Place 1 tortilla down on a flat surface and fill it with about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture off to the side. Roll up the tortilla tightly and place it, seam side down on the baking sheet. Continue until all of the filling has been used up.
• Lightly oil the tops of the tortillas.
• Bake on the lowest rack in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway though, until the tortillas are lightly crisp and the filling is melty.
• Serve taquitos as desired with optional garnishes of chopped lettuce, tomato, queso fresco, cilantro and hot sauce!

BEEF TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400°. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook them for 3 minutes, stirring often. Add the beef and use a wooden spoon or a spatula to break it up while it cooks, until it is no longer red, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of the salsa, the chili powder, and the salt and pepper. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• Place the tortillas on a plate and cover them with damp paper towels. Microwave them until warm and pliable, about 45 seconds. Top each tortilla with 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture, spreading it to an inch from the edges. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the beef.
• Roll up the tortillas and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet with the seam sides down. Brush the taquitos lightly with vegetable oil, then bake them until the filling is heated through and the tortillas are lightly browned, about 8 to 12 minutes. Serve them hot with sour cream and/or salsa.

QUICK BEEF TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Combine roast beef, pepper jack cheese, and green chilies in a bowl. Use a fork to break up the beef and mix ingredients.
• Fry tortillas in hot oil just long enough to soften, just a few seconds; drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
• Begin spooning beef mixture into tortillas making a line down the middle of the tortilla. Roll tortilla around the filling and place in frying pan with the edge of the rolled tortilla facing the bottom of the pan. Cook until the tortillas are completely browned, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Drain again on paper towels before serving.
