Shredded Pork Taquitos image

Watched Emeril Lagasse make these a couple of years ago on the Food Network and have been making them since. Recipe is as Emeril makes it but will add my 2 cents of changes I made.

Categories     Pork

Time 2h30m

Yield 48 Taquitos, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 lbs pork shoulder, trimmed and cut into 2 inch cubes (I used pork tenderloin)
salt & pepper
1 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 cup chopped tomato, peeled and seeded (I like the plum tomatoes here, and I don't peel and seed)
4 cups beef stock
corn tortilla

Steps:

  • In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil.
  • Add the pork and season with salt and pepper.
  • Sear the pork until browned, about 2 minutes per side.
  • Add the onions and saute until softened, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the chopped garlic and tomatoes. Season with more salt and pepper.
  • Saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the beef stock and bring the liquid to a boil.
  • Cover and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until pork is very tender, about 2 hours. (Depending upon cut of meat).
  • To make taquitos, find the best quality corn shells you can. I quickly heat mine on an oiled pan, both sides, then lay on a paper lined plate. Add pork in a line, roll as tightly as possible. I stick a toothpick in them to hold. I then deep fry for just a few minutes. All will have to be played with on an individual basis. I know they can also be baked but haven't tried that myself.
