Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef Filling

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Add Seasonings

    Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook until the onions are soft and translucent.

  3. 3

    Assemble Taquitos

    Take a corn tortilla and place a small amount of the beef mixture along one edge. Sprinkle with cheese if desired, then roll tightly.

  4. 4

    Fry the Taquitos

    In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the taquitos in batches until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
