Best Steak Taquitos Recipes

HOMEMADE TAQUITOS

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.

BEEF TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400°. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook them for 3 minutes, stirring often. Add the beef and use a wooden spoon or a spatula to break it up while it cooks, until it is no longer red, about 3 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup of the salsa, the chili powder, and the salt and pepper. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
• Place the tortillas on a plate and cover them with damp paper towels. Microwave them until warm and pliable, about 45 seconds. Top each tortilla with 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture, spreading it to an inch from the edges. Sprinkle cheese evenly over the beef.
• Roll up the tortillas and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet with the seam sides down. Brush the taquitos lightly with vegetable oil, then bake them until the filling is heated through and the tortillas are lightly browned, about 8 to 12 minutes. Serve them hot with sour cream and/or salsa.

BAKED BEEF TAQUITOS WITH STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425ºF. Lightly coat baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
• In a small bowl combine steak, cheese, corn, green onions, 2 TBS cilantro, cumin, garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt.
• Layout tortillas on your work surface.
• Starting with one tortilla, lay it flat and arrange 1/4 cup of steak mixture in a line across down the center.
• Roll tortilla tightly around the filling so it is snug. Lay it seam-side-down on the prepared baking sheet.
• Prepare the remaining tortillas the same way. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each taquito so all sides will bake evenly.
• Spray taquitos with non-stick spray and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until taquitos are crisp and golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
• Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, red onions and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.

BAKED BEEF TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
• Add cooked rice, water, bell pepper, and garlic to the beef in the skillet; stir and cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon onto tortillas and roll to close. Place taquitos tightly against each other in an 8x12-inch baking pan. Pour salsa over and top with Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 25 minutes.

BAKED STEAK AND CHEDDAR TAQUITOS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl combine the cooked steak, cheese, salsa, sour cream, salt and pepper to taste.

• Place cookie sheet in the oven and cook for 20 minutes or until the tortillas turn a little brown. Watch them to make sure they don't burn.
