Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Cook the beef

In a large skillet, cook 1 pound of ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

2
Prepare the vegetables

While the beef is cooking, finely chop 1 medium onion and mince 3 cloves of garlic.

3
Season the beef

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to the skillet with the cooked beef. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the onion is softened and the spices are fragrant.

4
Warm the tortillas

Wrap 12 small corn tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for 30-60 seconds, or until warm and pliable.

5
Fill and roll the taquitos

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto the lower third of each tortilla. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the beef. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling, securing with toothpicks if necessary.

6
Fry the taquitos

In a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat 1 cup of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the taquitos for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove the taquitos from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

7
Serve

Remove the toothpicks from the taquitos and serve them hot, with your favorite salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.
