How to Make Beef Taquitos
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add 1 pound ground beef and break it up with a spoon while cooking until browned, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in 1/2 cup salsa, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the beef simmers, stack 12 corn or flour tortillas on a plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for 45 seconds to soften.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture evenly onto each tortilla, leaving about an inch of space from the edges.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over the beef on each tortilla.
- Tightly roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet.
- Lightly brush the taquitos with 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately with sour cream and your favorite salsa.
