Rolled Tacos/Taquitos

Step 1

Trim any excess fat from the meat and cut into large chunks. Sprinkle with salt and pour salsa to coat the meat. Cook on high for 5-7 hours, or until meat is cooked through and shreds easily.

Step 2

Shred ingredients in a bowl using two forks, or in your stand mixer. Gently mix in other ingredients.

Step 3

Pour about 2-3 inches of oil into a large, deep pan and heat over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Wrap tortillas in a kitchen towel and heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, until they are soft enough to roll easily. Keep them wrapped as you work.

Step 5

Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the meat mixture on one side of a tortilla and roll it tightly into a tube-like shape. Secure with 1 or 2 toothpicks.

Step 6

Continue this method until you've either made your desired amount of tacos or your meat is gone. (If you have leftover meat it keeps quite well in the freezer).

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, fry the tacos for about 5-7 minutes or until they are starting to look browned and feel crispy. Remember that they will continue to crisp as they sit. Place them on a paper towel lined surface to drain, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.

Step 8

Serve hot with salsa, sour cream or guacamole.
