Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large skillet, brown ground beef and onion. Once brown, add the seasonings: garlic, chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika. Cook for a couple of minutes, until fragrant. Add the tomato sauce and stir.
Step 3
Remove from the heat source. Stir in the shredded cheese.
Step 4
Spoon some filling in a straight line near one edge of the tortilla, and roll tightly from that end. Place on the prepared sheet pan. Repeat until all the filling is used up.
Step 5
Lightly spray or brush the tops of the tortillas with oil. For a spray, I like Chosen Foods avocado spray. For brushing, I use olive oil or avocado oil.
Step 6
Bake for 20 minutes or until beginning to brown and crisp on top. Serve with toppings: radish slices, avocado slices, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, green onions, shredded lettuce, slaw, or cilantro.
Step 7
To freeze for a future meal: Prepare filling as above and let cool before filling tortillas. Place the taquitos on a parchment-lined sheet pan and freeze for 2 hours. Once frozen, wrap them in the parchment sheet and place in a plastic bag for up to 3 months in the freezer. To cook from frozen, preheat oven to 375F. Place taquitos on a parchment-lined sheet pan and spray or brush with oil. Bake for 25 minutes or until heated through and brown and crisp on top.
