Instructions
- Make the carnitas. (Click the link for the recipe).
- Make the refried beans. (Click the link for the recipe).
- To Shallow-Fry the Taquitos: Fill a small skillet with vegetable oil until it is 1/2 inch up the sides. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot, about 7-10 minutes. Test the oil by putting the tip of a corn tortilla in the oil, if it bubbles a lot, it’s ready. Side Note: Make sure the oil is hot enough or the taquitos won't be as crispy.
- Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and place them on a plate. Microwave for 30-45 seconds or until the tortillas are warm and pliable.
- Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface and spread a small spoonful of refried beans down the center then top with some of the shredded pork. Roll up each tortilla tightly and secure it with half of a toothpick.
- Once the oil is very hot and ready, add 3-4 taquitos and fry, flipping as needed to brown evenly, until crispy and golden brown, about 3 minutes. Using tongs, remove the taquitos to a paper towel lined plate.
- To Bake the Taquitos: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the taquitos in a single layer on a sheet pan coated with cooking spray. Spray the tops of the taquitos with the cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.
- Remove the toothpicks.
- Serve immediately with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, cotija cheese, and hot sauce if desired.
