Taquitos are a crisp Mexican snack made by rolling spiced ground meat in small tortillas and frying them. They can be frozen after rolling and fried straight from frozen when needed, making them a convenient make-ahead dish.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the ground meat filling

8 min

Cook the ground meat with the onion and garlic over medium heat for 8 minutes, until its color changes. Add the curry powder, cumin and salt, then stir.

2

Fill and roll the tortillas

7 min

Warm the tortillas slightly. Place a spoonful of ground meat filling near the edge of each one and roll tightly. If you are not frying them straight away, arrange them in a freezer bag with the seam side down.

3

Fry the taquitos

8 min

Heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Arrange the taquitos seam side down in the pan and fry for 8 minutes, turning them, until crisp and golden on all sides.

Reminder

Warm the tortillas slightly before rolling, or they may crack and tear. When frying, place the seam side down in the oil first to keep the tortilla from unrolling. Allergen: contains gluten (tortillas).

Köri tozunu editör notundaki gibi acı biberle karıştırdıktan sonra harca kattım, tarifin önerdiği gibi güzel bir sıcaklık verdi; çocuklarım için yarısını daha az acılı bırakıp ayrı bir tavada pişirdim.

Dondurulmuş halden doğrudan tavaya attım, çözdürmeden pişirmenin gerçekten işe yaradığını görmek güzeldi; 8 dakika yerine 10 dakikada içi tam sıcak oldu, dışı da hiç yanmadı. Misafirlerim için pratik bir çözüm oldu.
