Crispy Beef Taquitos
These crispy beef taquitos are filled with a savoury beef mixture and fried to golden perfection, perfect for a snack or main meal.
Ingredients
Method
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Stir in the chilli powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the shredded cheese until melted and well combined.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them pliable.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each tortilla and roll them up tightly. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
Arrange the taquitos seam-side down on the baking tray. Lightly brush with vegetable oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Serve hot with your favourite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.
Notes
For a healthier option, you can air-fry the taquitos at 200°C for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy.
Ensure the tortillas are warm before rolling to prevent them from cracking.
