How to Make Beef Taquitos Oamc

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Place a 2-3 lb beef roast in a roasting pan.
  3. In a bowl, dissolve 1 packet (1 oz) onion soup mix in 1 cup of water. Pour over the roast.
  4. Roast for 34-38 minutes per pound, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  5. Let the roast cool completely. Refrigerate overnight.
  6. Once cooled, finely chop the roast beef.
  7. In a large bowl, combine the chopped beef with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, and ½ cup picante sauce. Mix well.
  8. Warm corn tortillas (you can microwave them between damp paper towels for a few seconds to soften).
  9. Place ¼ cup of the beef mixture onto the lower third of each tortilla.
  10. Roll up the tortillas tightly and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
  11. To freeze: Place the rolled taquitos seam-down on wax paper-lined baking sheets. Flash freeze for 2-3 hours.
  12. Once frozen, transfer taquitos to freezer bags for long-term storage.
  13. To cook frozen taquitos: Thaw completely. Heat ½ inch of oil in an electric skillet to 300°F (150°C).
  14. Fry the taquitos, seam-side down, until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per side).
  15. To cook fresh taquitos: Heat ½ inch of oil in an electric skillet to 300°F (150°C). Fry the taquitos, seam-side down, until golden brown and crispy (about 2-3 minutes per side).
  16. Serve hot with your favorite condiments (salsa, sour cream, guacamole, etc.).
