Crispy Baked Beef Taquitos with Salsa
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic
  • 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas, or more to taste
  • 2 cups salsa
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a high temperature of three seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit or one ninety degrees Celsius.
2
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat setting. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot pan until it is nicely browned and resembles coarse crumbs, taking anywhere from five to seven minutes.
3
Drain off any excess fat that has accumulated during the cooking process and discard it.
4
Add cooked rice, water, a sliced bell pepper, and minced garlic to the beef mixture in the pan; stir thoroughly and continue cooking until everything is well combined and heated through, requiring approximately three to five minutes.
5
Spoon the beef mixture onto tortillas and roll them up tightly to form a compact package. Arrange these rolled tortillas closely together in an 8x12-inch baking dish.
6
Pour a layer of your favorite salsa over the rolled tortillas and top them with shredded Cheddar cheese.
7
Place the baking dish in your preheated oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, taking roughly twenty-five minutes.
8
At this point, your delicious taquitos are ready to be served and enjoyed.
