Smoky BBQ Beef Taquitos
These BBQ beef taquitos are superb in the most special way. Check out this very easy recipe that I love making at home.
Ingredients
- 4 cups ground beef (minced beef) - cooked
- 12 medium flour tortillas
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese - grated
- 4 ounces cream cheese - Philadelphia
- ⅓ cups hot sauce
- ⅓ cups milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and let it preheat.
- Use the stove to melt butter in a small saucepan.
- Combine all seasoning and the garlic powder with the butter and cook for 1 minute.
- Drop the cream cheese in the butter mixture and stir until melted. Make sure the cream cheese is thoroughly combined with the butter mixture.
- Stir in hot sauce (I use a whisk) and milk and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes. You may want to add salt to taste.
- Add the chicken to the sauce.
- Lay out one tortilla at a time. Fill each tortilla with about ¼ to 1/3 cup chicken.
- Drop as much mozzarella as desired on top of the filling mixture on each tortilla.
- Roll each tortilla into a taquito-shaped roll and place it on a greased baking sheet.
- Make as many taquitos as the chicken mixture allows.
- Brush taquitos with oil on all sides. Be sure not to drench them in oil, or you will have a greasy mess.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes; rotate them every 5 minutes, until golden brown.
- Serve with your favourite bleu cheese or ranch dressing and celery sticks.
