CRISPY CHORIZO & CHEESE TACO-QUESADILLAS WITH SIMPLE SALSA RECIPE BY TASTY
Cheese makes everything better! These cheesy griddled queso-tacos are going to be your new go-to recipe for any time of the week. This is a perfect recipe for substituting any protein or vegetable in place of the chorizo. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. You can buy chorizo or make your own by mixing together the spices and ground pork. Either will work great in this recipe! If you haven't had a habanada pepper, try one-they will change your life. Check out your local farmers' market and make this salsa this weekend.

Steps:
- If making the chorizo, in the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the paprika, cumin, ancho chile powder, chili powder, oregano, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, ground pork, vinegar, and garlic. Mix until well combined.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering, add the chorizo and cook until the fat has rendered and the chorizo is crisp. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and discard the excess fat.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the tortillas, then top with the chorizo.
- Return the tortillas to the pan and cook until the cheese is melted and the tortilla is crisp, 3-4 minutes per side.
- Meanwhile, make the salsa: Coat the tomatoes, peppers, and garlic with olive oil and salt, then spread on a baking sheet. Roast under the broiler for 5-10 minutes, until charred in spots.
- Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender and purée until smooth. Stir in the lemon juice and season with more salt to taste.
- Serve the taco-quesadillas with salsa and pickles.
- Enjoy!

CHORIZO TAQUITOS
This is a fantastic recipe that you can prep ahead! I've served these taquitos, sliced in half, as appetizers. The chorizo gives them a nice zing. You may serve these with sour cream and/or guacamole on the side. This is a Sandra Lee recipe. Delish! **Note: the last time I made these, I could only find a 12 oz package of chorizo. I still kept the cheese and salsa amounts the same and it worked out fine.**

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large skillet, saute the sausage over medium heat until browned - about 6 minutes (I like to break it apart into smaller pieces while it's cooking).
- Drain 1/4 cup of oil from the cooked sausage.
- Set sausage aside to cool.
- Stir salsa and cheese into the skillet of sausage, mix well.
- Place a tortilla on a work surface and spoon 1/4 cup of the sausage mixture down the center.
- Fold tortilla in half, then roll up.
- Secure with toothpicks.
- Place on foil-lined cookie sheet.
- Repeat until all sausage/tortillas are gone.
- **You can prepare ahead until this point, and keep in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake**.
- Bake, turning them halfway through cooking time so you get even browning, until filling is hot and tortilla is crisp and golden brown - about 18 minutes. **Check them at least 5 minutes early - mine were done quicker than 18 minute last time.**.
- Cut taquitos in half, crosswise.
- Serve hot with your choice of condiments!

- Wrap tortillas in a damp towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of filling across the tortilla about ⅓ of the way up from the bottom of the tortilla, and roll the tortilla around the filling.
- Heat about ¼ inch (½ cm) of oil over medium-high heat. Carefully, place 3-4 taquitos in the oil, and cook for 3 minutes on each side. (Frying them seam side down first helps them stay closed during frying!)

- Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Once the beef is browned, add the onion and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the salt, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, paprika, and oregano. Cook for 2-3 minutes more to allow the flavors to meld and ensure the beef is cooked through. Remove the beef mixture from the pan and set aside.
- In a clean large saucepan over medium heat, combine the shredded chicken and crushed tomatoes. Add the salt, cumin, chili powder, cayenne, paprika, and oregano. Cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the Parmesan and Mexican-blend cheeses.
- Heat a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Add about ¼ cup (25 G) of cheese to the center of the pan and spread into a circle. Let the cheese melt, then add a spoonful of beef or chicken filling to the bottom of the circle.
- Slide the cheese shell out of the pan onto a cutting board and let cool for 30 seconds, then roll tightly to encase the filling. The melted cheese should stick to the outside, sealing the taquito. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Serve the taquitos with lime wedges, sour cream, and fresh cilantro.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Make the chicken filling: Add the oil, garlic, onion, and green chiles to a medium pan. Season with the cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until the onion is translucent, 4-5 minutes. Add the shredded chicken and chicken broth. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook until warmed through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer the filling to a bowl and set aside.
- Make the beef filling: Wipe out the pan. Add the oil, onion, garlic, cumin, chili powder, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat until the onion is translucent, 4-5 minutes. Add the beef and beef broth, cover, and cook for another 5 minutes, until warmed through and the beef is falling apart. Transfer the filling to a bowl, remove the bay leaf, and set aside.
- Assemble the taquitos: Wrap the corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high power for 30 seconds to warm. (Alternatively, heat each tortilla in a dry pan for 15 seconds on each side, until warmed through and pliable.)
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F ( 190°C) for 5 minutes.
- Scoop 3 tablespoons of chicken filling onto the center of a tortilla. Tightly roll the tortilla and secure the end with 1-2 toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining filling to make 8 chicken taquitos total.
- Scoop 3 tablespoons of beef filling onto the center of a tortilla. Tightly roll the tortilla and secure the end with 1-2 toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining filling and tortillas to make 8 beef taquitos total.
- Lightly spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with nonstick spray. Place 3-4 taquitos at a time in the basket, leaving space between them, and air fry for 6-8 minutes, turning halfway, until brown and crisp. Remove from the air fryer and cover loosely with a kitchen towel or foil to keep warm while you fry the remaining taquitos.
- To serve, arrange the taquitos on a platter. Drizzle with the crema and sprinkle with the queso fresco. Dollop a few spoonfuls of guacamole on top and spread over the taquitos, then spoon some pico de gallo down the center. Top with the cilantro and serve with lime wedges. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!
