No-Fuss Taquitos

My mom's friend Marlene taught us how to make these when I was a kid. Taquitos have always been a favorite of mine and These are so easy to whip up.

1. Drain gravy from roast beef.

6. Place approx 1 1/2 tablespoons of roast beef in center of tortilla (in a line).
7. Fold tortilla over and roll to resemble a cigar.

11. Fry till golden brown.
12. Turn over and fry other side.
