Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup taco seasoning
  • 10 tortillas (small; 6 inch)
  • 1 1/4 cup cheese (shredded; I used Monterey Jack)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for brushing)

Instruction

  • Cook beef - Cook beef in a non-stick pan over medium heat until no pink remains. If there is a lot of liquid in the pan, drain before proceeding.Sprinkle taco seasoning over the beef. Add ⅓ cup of water. Cook, stirring continuously for another 2-3 minutes, until the water reduces and beef is well mixed with seasoning. Set beef aside to cool before rolling taquitos.
  • Assemble - Heat oven to 425°F. Spoon 3-4 tablespoons of ground beef into the middle of a tortilla. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.Roll tightly, and place seam side down on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Bake - Brush each taquito with olive oil. Bake in the oven for 15 or so minutes, until edges are brown. Remove from oven and serve with suggested toppings.
