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!
