Steps:
- For the Slow Cooker: Season roast with salt and pepper. Add chili powder, garlic, cumin, minced onion, beef broth and salsa. Cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or until meat is tender and shreds easily.
- Remove roast to a plate and shred the meat. Discard any large pieces of fat. Return to the pot to keep warm.
- For the Instant Pot: Season roast with salt and pepper. Cut it into four large pieces and place in instant pot. Add chili powder, garlic, cumin, minced onion, beef broth and salsa. Cook on manual/high pressure for 50 minutes. When timer beeps allow the pressure to naturally release before removing the lid (about 15-20 minutes).
- Remove roast to a plate and shred the meat. Discard any large pieces of fat. Return to the pot to keep warm.
- Assembly:
- If frying, add about 1 1/2 inches of oil to a large skillet and heat to medium-high.
- Drain beef and set aside. Heat a non-stick griddle over medium high heat. Cook tortillas for about 15 - 30 seconds on each side until soft and pliable. Remove tortillas to a plate covered with tinfoil to keep them warm and pliable.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the meat mixture into a line at one end of a tortilla and tightly roll it up. Use a toothpick to secure it.
- Fried Taquitos:
- Your oil should be hot (the tortillas should sizzle immediately when you put them in).
- Fry the rolled tacos in small batches, for a few seconds on each side, rotating them as they cook, until they are golden and crispy on all sides. Place them on a paper towel lined plate.
- Baked Taquitos:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray the tops of the tacos with cooking spray , or brush them lightly with oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the shells are crispy.
- Serve taquitos with guacamole, shredded cheese, salsa and sour cream.

Steps:
- Brown ground beef in a skillet. Drain off the oil when beef is done.
- To the ground beef, mix in the chili powder, paprika, onion powder, sugar, garlic powder, salt, cumin and Accent seasoning.
- In a food processor add the meat, masa and water. Process until meat its a crumble / paste. (optional step - otherwise just add masa and water and mix well by hand).
- Transfer the meat to a clean bowl and let cool. Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
- Warm tortillas in microwave so they won't break when you are making tacos / taquitos.
- To assemble the tacos: Spread about 2 - 3 tablespoons of the meat filling onto each tortilla and fold over. Press to seal. If you are planning on frying right away, it might be helpful to seal with toothpicks to prevent the tacos from opening while cooking.
- To assemble taquitos: Spread about 2 - 3 tablespoons of meat filling onto each tortilla and roll up. It might be helpful to seal with toothpicks.
- At this point you can fry them immediately, store them in the fridge or freeze them for long term storage.
- Frying the tacos: Preheat oil to 375 degrees. You can use either a deep fryer or a skillet.
- Fry 2 - 4 tacos / taquitos at a time depending on how many can fit into the deep fryer or skillet.
- If using a skillet, fry each side for about 2 minutes. If using a deep fryer, fry for about 2 - 3 minutes. (If frying the tacos / taquitos straight out of the freezer, add a minute or two). The goal is to get the tacos /taquitos to be a little crunchy but not too soft and they get a nice brown color.
- Drain the tacos / taquitos on paper towels before serving.
- Serve with shredded lettuce and Mexican crema.
- If you have leftovers, place them in the fridge, covered, for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350 degree oven for about 8 minutes or until warmed through.
