How to Make Beef Taquitos Oamc

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Place a 2-3 lb beef roast in a roasting pan.
In a bowl, dissolve 1 packet (1 oz) onion soup mix in 1 cup of water. Pour over the roast.
Roast for 34-38 minutes per pound, or until internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Let the roast cool completely. Refrigerate overnight.
Once cooled, finely chop the roast beef.
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.
Warm corn tortillas (you can microwave them between damp paper towels for a few seconds to soften).
Place ¼ cup of the beef mixture onto the lower third of each tortilla.
Roll up the tortillas tightly and secure with toothpicks if necessary.
To freeze: Place the rolled taquitos seam-down on wax paper-lined baking sheets. Flash freeze for 2-3 hours.
Once frozen, transfer taquitos to freezer bags for long-term storage.
To cook frozen taquitos: Thaw completely. 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).
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).
Serve hot with your favorite condiments (salsa, sour cream, guacamole, etc.).
