This is a fantastic recipe that you can prep ahead! I've served these taquitos, sliced in half, as appetizers. The chorizo gives them a nice zing. You may serve these with sour cream and/or guacamole on the side. This is a Sandra Lee recipe. Delish!
Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) package beef chorizo sausage, bulk, casing removed
1 cup medium chunky salsa, drained
1 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded
6 -8 large flour tortillas
guacamole (optional)
sour cream (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a large skillet, saute the sausage over medium heat until browned - about 6 minutes (I like to break it apart into smaller pieces while it's cooking).
3. Drain 1/4 cup of oil from the cooked sausage.
4. Set sausage aside to cool.
5. Stir salsa and cheese into the skillet of sausage, mix well.
6. Place a tortilla on a work surface and spoon 1/4 cup of the sausage mixture down the center.
7. Fold tortilla in half, then roll up.
8. Secure with toothpicks.
9. Place on foil-lined cookie sheet.
10. Repeat until all sausage/tortillas are gone.
11. **You can prepare ahead until this point, and keep in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake**.
12. Bake until filling is hot and tortilla is crisp and golden brown - about 18 minutes.
13. Cut taquitos in half, crosswise.
14. Serve hot with your choice of condiments!
