Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground beef
- 0.5 cup Low sodium beef broth
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Salt-free taco seasoning
- 12 Corn tortillas
- 1 bottle Olive oil spray
- 0.25 cup Cilantro, chopped
- 1 Lime, juiced
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet and return it to the stove over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the beef, stirring occasionally until the onion is softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the low sodium beef broth and salt-free taco seasoning, mixing well to combine all ingredients.
Simmer the mixture until most of the liquid has evaporated, leaving the beef moist but not soupy, about 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, combine chopped cilantro, lime juice, and black pepper. Add this mixture to the beef and stir to combine.
Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet for easier rolling.
Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture on one end of each tortilla and roll it up tightly.
Place the taquitos seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Use olive oil spray to lightly coat the taquitos.
Bake the taquitos in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
