ingredients
- 6 lbs beef roast
- 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet onion soup mix
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 (14 3/4 ounce) cans whole corn, drained
- 4 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (or cheddar)
- 3 cups salsa (mild, medium, or hot to taste)
- 1⁄2 cup yellow onion, finely chopped
- 80 flour tortillas, 6 inch (or corn, plus some extra)
- 1 cup canola oil (plus some extra)
directions
- Salt and pepper all sides of the roast. Brown roast on all sides in a hot pan with a few tablespoons of oil.
- Dissolve onion soup mix in 1 c hot water. Pour over the roast.
- Roast the meat about 3 1/2 hours at 325F, until tender. Cool roast.
- Finely chop beef.
- In a (very large) bowl, mix beef, beans, corn, cheese, salsa, and onions.
- In a wide, shallow, pan, heat oil to medium-low heat.
- One at a time and using tongs, dip the tortillas into the hot oil for 2 to 4 seconds, just until they begin to bubble. Place the hot tortilla aside. (I usually do four at a time and place them on a cutting board with a little rim that catches any oozing oil.).
- Place about 1/4 to 1/3 c filling mix in the tortilla and snugly wrap it up like a little burrito. (Depending on the brand/size of tortillas, you might want a bit more or less filling. A little less filling and you have a skinnier more appetizer shaped taquito or, stuff in as much as you can and you have a more hearty taquito. Using 1/4 c, you'll get about 80 taquitos.).
- Place taquitos in a freezer container, seam side down so they don't unroll. They don't stick to one another badly since they are coated in oil, but I do like to put a layer of wax paper between layers if I am stacking them in a deep container.
- Freeze.
- To serve, bake the taquitos on a cookie sheet at 400F about 20 to 25 minutes, until hot. (Baking time will vary with the size of the taquitos. If they are not frozen, reduce baking time.)
- Serve with sour cream, salsa, chopped tomatoes, chopped lettuce, and/or guacamole or just eat them plain.
