ROLLED MUSHROOM TAQUITOS WITH ROASTED TOMATILLO-CILANTRO SALSA
Taquitos, also known as flautas where I grew up, are corn tortillas that are stuffed, rolled, and fried. Shredded chicken or beef is the traditional filling, but here I use mushrooms and pair them with a tart tomatillo salsa for a great vegetarian dish.

Steps:
- Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes, or until beginning to brown. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the mushrooms, and sauté for 5 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cilantro, and season the mushroom filling to taste with salt and pepper.
- Place the tortillas on a work surface and spread 2 tablespoons of the filling down the center. Roll them up like a soft taco (into a cylinder). Place a toothpick in the center and one at each end of each taquito to keep the filling from falling out. (These can be made 1 day ahead to this point. Transfer them to baking sheets, cover, and refrigerate.)
- Place a medium skillet over medium-high heat, and add enough vegetable oil to reach halfway up the sides of the pan. Heat the oil to 350°F. Working in batches, fry the taquitos until golden brown, about 1 minute per side. Transfer them to paper towels to drain.
- Remove the toothpicks from the taquitos, and transfer the taquitos to a platter. Spoon the tomatillo-cilantro salsa down the center of each taquito, and serve.
