Crispy Cheesy Beef Taquitos with Creamy Avocado Sauce

Let's Cook

1. 1Prepare the Beef Filling

   10 min

   In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, ensuring it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), breaking it apart with a spatula. Stir in the minced garlic, canned tomatoes, and spices (salt, sugar, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes) and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the mixture is well combined and heated through.

   💡

   Make sure to drain excess fat from the beef if necessary.

2. 2Make the Creamy Avocado Sauce

   5 min

   In a blender, combine the avocado, cilantro, lime juice, minced garlic, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.

   💡

   Add a little water if the sauce is too thick.

3. 3Assemble the Taquitos

   Lay out the tortillas and spread a layer of the beef mixture on each one, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Roll the tortillas tightly and secure them with a toothpick if needed.

   💡

   Don't overfill the tortillas to prevent them from bursting while frying.

4. 4Fry the Taquitos

   5 min

   In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry the rolled taquitos in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

   💡

   Keep the taquitos warm in the oven while frying the rest.
