Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped yellow onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.25 cup beef broth
- 12 small corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet, heat a small amount of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix to evenly coat the beef.
Add the tomato paste and beef broth to the skillet and stir to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
Warm the corn tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 20 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla, spreading it out in a line across the middle.
Tightly roll each tortilla around the beef filling and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush or spray the taquitos lightly with vegetable oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden and crispy.
Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
