Best Chorizo Cheese Taquito With Tomatillo Mint Salsa Recipes

CHEESY CHORIZO TAQUITOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 6 minutes, until slightly tender and fragrant. Add the green chiles, chipotles, and adobo sauce, and cook for 2 minutes, until fully incorporated.
• Add the beef chorizo, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, and salt, and cook, breaking up the chorizo with a wooden spoon, for 10-14 minutes, until the chorizo is cooked through and crispy. Remove the pan from the heat and let the chorizo mixture cool slightly.
• In a small bowl, combine the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
• Assemble the taquitos: Wrap the tortillas loosely in a damp paper towel and microwave for 45-60 seconds, until soft and pliable.
• Set a tortilla on a flat surface and sprinkle with 1½-2 tablespoons of the cheese blend. Spoon 1½ tablespoons of the chorizo mixture in a line on one end of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla up to enclose the filling, securing with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and chorizo filling.
• In a medium, high-walled pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat until it reaches 325°F (160°C). Working in batches, fry the taquitos starting seam side down for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and crispy. Remove from the pan and let cool slightly, then remove the toothpicks.
• Arrange the taquitos on a platter and drizzle with the crema, then top with the lettuce, tomato, avocado, and any remaining cheese. Or top with lettuce, scallions, avocado, Fresno chilies, and any remaining cheese.
• Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

• 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!
