TAQUITOS AND GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• For the guacamole:.
• Put the avocados in a bowl and mash using a fork. Add the cream cheese and mix well. Add the sour cream and chilies, followed by the lemon juice and Tabasco. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the taquitos:.
• Boil the meat in water until it shreds easily, approximately 1-2 hours. Drain and shred the meat, once it is shredded, soak in the barbecue sauce for 30 minutes.
• Place a small amount of meat into each tortilla and roll up using a toothpick to hold together.
• Fry in the oil until crispy and lightly browned.
• Serve taquitos with the guacamole.

BEAN & CHEESE TAQUITOS W/ GUACAMOLE

Steps:

• Make guacamole first by combining all ingredients except sour cream.
• Mash and stir until only small lumps of avocado remain.
• Garnish with sour cream piled in the center and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Combine beans, Tabasco, cumin, corriander, salt and cheese stirring well.
• Microwave tortillas between 2 paper towels, 3 at a time on high for 30 seconds.
• Work with one tortilla at a time, keeping the others covered in paper towels so they stay warm and moist.
• Place 1 tablespoon of filling at the center edge of tortilla closest to you and roll tightly away from you like skinny cigar.
• Keep filling away from the edges, as it may leak out when frying and cause the oil to spatter.
• Put seam side down on a paper towel or wax paper and repeat the process until you've made all 24 taquitos.
• Using medium-thick cotton string, toothpicks, or bamboo skewers secure the center seam of each taquito (if you omit this part, they will pop open during frying and make a big mess).
• Heat oil in medium frying pan on medium-high (about 325F) and cook taquitos 4 at a time turning frequently until golden brown on all sides.
• Drain on cooling rack on top of paper towels (this ensures the oil drains away and the taquitos stay crispy).
• Serve hot with guacamole.

GUACAMOLE TAQUITOS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Cover a large baking sheet (I use a cookie sheet) with aluminum foil and spray lightly with cooking spray.
• Mix the taco seasoning with the refried in a small bowl.
• Spread 2 Tablespoons of guacamole and 2 Tablespoons of refried beans onto a tortilla. Then spoon 2 Tablespoons onto. Add a little bit of shredded cheese and roll it up. Place taquito seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat about 10 to 15 times (depending how full you fill them) Once finished, spray the tops of the taquitos with non-stick cooking spray (or you could lightly brush some olive oil on them) and sprinkle with salt (I like to use sea salt).
• Place pan in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes (or until edges and tops are golden). Let cool for a couple of minutes. Serve with salsa and more guacamole.
