The Secret to Taquitos

Had fun last night at SBC! Was so much fun meeting new people and hearing their ideas.  Many people have wanted to know the secret to my taquitos. Well, the wait is over. Here it is!

You can put anything inside your taquitos! If you are trying to be heart healthy, use cooked white meat chicken or spicy black beans with moisture drained out and mashed a bit.  You must heat your corn tortillas in the microwave until they are rubbery before you roll them up or they will crack! That's the big secret. Place your filling at the edge of the tortillas and roll.  Heat oil in fry pan to medium high.  Canola oil is best because of it's high smoke point.

Place taquito in oil flap side down and apply a small amount of pressure with tongs to seal so that it won't unroll.  Cook on both sides until golden brown.

Place taquitos on paper towels to absorb excess oil, then add salt.
