My mom's friend Marlene taught us how to make these when I was a kid. Taquitos have always been a favorite of mine and These are so easy to whip up.

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (12 ounce) can libby's roast beef in gravy or 1 lb leftover roast beef
8 -12 corn tortillas or 8 -12 flour tortillas
oil (for frying)
salt

Steps:

  • Drain gravy from roast beef.
  • Set aside.
  • Fork shred the roast beef.
  • Add just enough gravy to moisten. (Too soupy and it will splatter when frying).
  • Heat tortillas (4 at a time) in microwave to soften. About 1 minute.
  • Place approx 1 1/2 tablespoons of roast beef in center of tortilla (in a line).
  • Fold tortilla over and roll to resemble a cigar.
  • Fasten together with a toothpick(I found this makes it less likely to come undone when frying).
  • Heat about 1/2 inch oil in a frying pan.
  • To fry, place tortilla seam side down in hot oil.
  • Fry till golden brown.
  • Turn over and fry other side.
  • Remove to a plate that has been cover with a paper towel to absorb oil.
  • Remove toothpicks and sprinkle with salt.
  • Serve with your favorite guacamole.
