Ingredients

  • 1 green spring onion chopped
  • 1.5 lbs Ground Beef or Chicken, Shredded and cooked
  • 1.5 tbs taco seasoning Homemade
  • 1/4 cup red enchilada sauce
  • 4 cups shredded cheddar
  • Sour cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  • Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 400° and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook until slightly soft, 3 minutes. Add cooked ground meat(I chopped mine finely in the food processor) and taco seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes more. Add enchilada sauce, heat slightly and set aside.
  • Make taquito shells: In a medium bowl, mix together cheeses. Divide mixture into twelve 3 ½" piles on prepared baking sheet. Bake until cheese is melty and slightly golden around the edges, about 10 minutes. Let cool 2 to 4 minutes, then peel shells off parchment. Add a small pile of meat to each and roll tightly. Repeat until all taquitos are made.
  • Garnish with more sauce if desired and serve with sour cream, for dipping.
