  • 1 envelope dry onion soup mix

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat oil on medium heat. Fry corn tortillas in hot oil for 10-12 seconds on each side. Drain on paper towels.
  2. Add a little cheese and shredded beef to each tortilla and roll up. Be sure to add cheese first then the beef so the cheese won't melt out.
  3. Place taquitos seam-side down on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 400-degrees for 6-8 minutes.
  4. Turn taquitos and bake for another 6-8 minutes or until taquitos are nice, golden brown, and slightly crispy on all sides.
  5. Serve with sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and/or nacho cheese dip.
