A delightful twist on classic taquitos, these crispy beef taquitos are easy to make and packed with flavor.
Shred the cooked beef into fine pieces using a fork.
Ensure the beef is tender for easier shredding and better texture.
Mix the shredded beef with the savory gravy to moisten it.
Avoid adding too much gravy to prevent the filling from becoming too wet.
Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 1 minute to make them pliable.
Cover the tortillas with a damp paper towel to prevent them from drying out.
Place a portion of the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla and roll tightly.
Secure the rolled tortillas with toothpicks to keep them intact during frying.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Test the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of tortilla; it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the taquitos seam-side down until golden brown, then flip to cook the other side.
Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the oil temperature.
Remove the taquitos from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Pat the taquitos gently with paper towels to remove any remaining oil.
Sprinkle the taquitos with fine salt and ground pepper before serving.
Serve with your favorite dips like guacamole or salsa for added flavor.
