Homemade Taquitos Recipe
Never dry, always crunchy, with a touch of salt.
Seriously better than any taquitos you’ll order at a restaurant.
Mmmmm, Mmmmm good.
Since as far back as I can remember, this has been one of my all-time favorite comfort meals. When my Momma makes her yummy taquitos, I turn into a teenage boy–as in I eat about a dozen. It’s not pretty, but it sure feels good.
My grandma {Dad’s Mom} taught my Mom how to make these way back when my parents were newly weds.Â

Ingredients:
Vegetable Oil
Canned Roast Beef
Corn Tortillas
Salt
First, open the roast beef and break apart the clumps with a fork until their are no large pieces.
Next, microwave about 10 tortillas at a time until soft enough to roll without breaking. Be sure to wrap them in paper towels or cover them with paper plates before you microwave so they don’t get rubbery.
Spread a heaping tablespoon worth of meat onto the edge of a tortilla.
Tightly roll up the tortilla and place in a cookie sheet seam side down.
Continue this step will all your tortillas {make a lot, trust me}.
Once all the taquitos are prepped, you are ready to start frying them.
Pour enough vegetable oil in the pan to cover the bottom.
Turn the burner onto medium/high heat and wait for the oil to get hot.
 Â
Use tongs to place the taquitos seam side down in the pan.
Taquitos should take approximately 5 minutes to brown on one side (takes longer for a larger pan). Once brown on one side, flip with the tongs.
Sprinkle salt to taste while they finish cooking.
Remove the taquitos from the pan and place on a paper towel lined plate to remove excess grease. And of course, top with cheese.
