Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked shredded beef such as brisket or chuck roast
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 small corn tortillas
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for brushing

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the shredded beef, cheddar cheese, onion, cilantro, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
  3. Warm the corn tortillas in a microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
  4. Take a tortilla and place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center. Roll it tightly, starting from one end, and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. Lightly spray or brush the taquitos with cooking spray or olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
