Beef Taquitos (Oamc) are a popular Mexican snack or meal that is great for busy weeknights when you don't have a lot of time to cook. This recipe makes a large batch which can be stored in the freezer for later use. They are perfect for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. The beef filling is slow-cooked until it is tender and flavorful, then mixed with cheese and other toppings. The taquitos are then baked until crispy and golden brown. This recipe can be customized by adding your favorite toppings such as guacamole, tomato salsa, or sour cream. They are a crowd-pleasing, delicious, and easy meal that can be made in advance, then reheated in minutes.

Instructions

1.Preheat oven to 400°F.
2.In a slow cooker, cook the roast with onion soup mix (if using), garlic powder, and onion powder until it is tender and easily shreddable. This should take about 6 to 8 hours on low heat.
3.Once the roast is cooked, shred it using two forks. Add cheddar cheese, salsa or diced tomatoes, and onions. Mix well.
4.On a baking sheet, lay out the corn tortillas. Place about 2 tbsp of the beef filling on one side of each tortilla, then roll it up tightly.
5.Arrange the rolled up tortillas seam-side down on the baking sheet and spray or brush the tops with cooking oil.
6.Bake for about 15-20 minutes until the tortillas are crispy and golden brown.
7.Serve with cheese sauce, salsa, sour cream, and guacamole if desired.

PROS

CONS

Corn tortillas can be fragile and may crack when you roll them up.
Additionally, the beef filling may fall out of the tortilla during baking if it is not rolled tightly.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Beef is a good source of protein which helps build muscle and keeps you full longer. Eating beef in moderation can also help you meet your daily iron needs. Iron is important for cognitive and immune function, among other things.
Corn tortillas are a healthier alternative to flour tortillas since they are lower in calories, fat, and cholesterol. They are also gluten-free.
Onion, garlic, and salsa contain antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties which can help boost the immune system and reduce inflammation.
