Poquito And Grande Taquitos And Burritos Recipes

POQUITO AND GRANDE: TAQUITOS AND BURRITOS

Steps:

• TO MAKE TAQUITOS:.
• Preheat oven to 350°. Season the shredded chicken with cumin, oregano, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir in the chilies and cilantro or parsley. Pour about 1 inch of oil into a skillet and heat over medium heat until warm, not hot. Dip the tortillas in the oil just to soften. Do not brown. Roll up a couple forkfuls of chicken mixture in each tortilla and place them in a baking dish. Bake for 12 minutes.
• TO MAKE DIPPING SAUCE:.
• Heat a saucepot over medium heat and add olive oil, red onion; cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Season with the sugar, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper, and stir in the fire-roasted tomatoes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer.
• TO MAKE BURRITOS:.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the pork, breaking up into little pieces, and cook for 2 minutes to brown. Then add the zucchini, garlic, chipotle in adobo, and salt. Cook for 7-8 minutes longer.
• Heat the last tablespoon of olive in a small nonstick skillet. Add the black beans and mash with a fork. Season the beans with salt and pepper, and fry until crisp at the edges, 3-4 minutes.
• Soften the flour tortillas in a microwave or hot oven very briefly; do not let cook. On each tortilla, place a little of the black bean mixture, cheese, pork and lettuce. Tuck in the sides, then wrap and roll the tortilla.
• Arrange taquitos and burritos on individual serving plates; pass the dipping sauce at the table or put into small condiment dishes for each person.

GRANDE SPUNTINO

Steps:

• Decoratively arrange the cheeses, meats, olives and fruits on a large platter. Drizzle with olive oil and/or honey. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes, if desired. Place the breadsticks in a glass pointing upwards for serving. Bon appetito!

TAQUITOS DE TOCINO (BACON TAQUITOS)

Steps:

• In large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp; remove to paper towels to drain. Reserve the fat in the pan. Cut the bacon crosswise into 1-inch strips and put in a bowl. In the same skillet, saute the onions until golden brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the onions to the bowl with the bacon, add the honey and ancho and chipotle powders, and season to taste with salt.
• Fill a deep-fat fryer with oil, or add enough oil to a deep skillet to measure about 1 inch deep, and heat to 375 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
• Roll about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture in each corn tortilla, secure with 2 toothpicks, and deep-fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove, drain on paper towels, discard the toothpicks, and serve immediately with radishes and shaved lettuce.
