Taquitos

Tomatillo Avocado Salsa

Method

Taquitos Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the braised brisket, shredded cheese, diced green chiles, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Lightly warm the corn tortillas one by one for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Taquitos

    Place about 2 tablespoons of the brisket filling on one side of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure with a toothpick if necessary.

  4. 4

    Fry the Taquitos

    In a frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the taquitos in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Tomatillo Avocado Salsa Preparation

  2. 6

    Blend the Salsa

    Add the ripe avocado, fresh cilantro, lime juice, jalapeño, and salt to the blender with the tomatillos. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with more salt if needed.
