• 12 -15 corn tortillas (blanched in oil to soften)
• 1 lb ground beef

• 1⁄4 teaspoon Accent seasoning (optional)
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce

• oil (for frying)
• salt (for seasoning after frying)

directions

1. Combine ground beef, egg, Accent, green onions, soy sauce, salt and pepper.
2. Place some of meat mixture down the middle of a corn tortilla; how much will depend on the size of the tortillas and how big you want them to turn out. Roll up into a cylinder shape (you may want to place a toothpick through the taquito to keep it from unrolling when you fry it).

4. Heat oil to 350°F.
5. Drop taquitos in a few at a time (don't overcrowd your pan). Fry until tortilla is golden and meat is cooked through (about 2 minutes).
6. Place on paper towels to drain and sprinkle with salt.
7. Serve while hot.
