Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 12 pieces gluten-free corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 piece small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 pieces lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until it's browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet and season the beef with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro, then remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture down the center of each tortilla, then roll them tightly.
Place the taquitos seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops of the taquitos with the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to ensure they crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for a fresh squeeze of lime juice before eating.
