Taquitos!

So tonight I made delicious taquitos. It was kind of a surprise how well they turned out because I did that thing where I decided what to make and then realized I only had some of the ingredients and then kind of patched it together. The original recipe is here at Six Sisters' Stuff which is one of my favorite places to find delicious things.

Pictures to follow, when I stop being lazy and download them from my camera. Oops.

But these are really easy and I'm a big fan.

Baked Beef Taquitos!

Ingredients:

 1 lb ground beef
 Minced garlic (I used...approximately one clove? Two? I get mine from a jar at the store)
2/3 cup of chopped onion
1-2 tablespoons of oil (you'll also use oil to glaze the taquitos before baking)
1 cup green salsa
10 soft taco sized tortillas (I think 10 inches in diameter)
A cup of cheddar cheese. Or more. If that's how you roll (that's how I roll)

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Unless your oven is hot like mine and then only do it at 350.
2. Heat the oil on medium high in a skillet, and add the garlic. Cook thoroughly, but don't overdo it. Add the meat, and the onion, and cook until the meat is browned. Add the salsa, and mix everything all together so it's heated evenly. 
3. Remove from heat, and spread about a fourth of a cup of meat on each tortilla. Top with cheese, and then roll them up and place them on a cookie sheet covered in tin foil, with the seam on the bottom.
4. Glaze with oil, and pop in the oven for 8-12 minutes, until tortillas are brown and crispy and delicious. Serve with sour cream and more salsa, although I think they're pretty good just plain. Or with just sour cream.

The way I did this, I got somewhere around 8 taquitos. Mine seemed awfully fat. But sooooo good.
