Fully Loaded Pork Taquitos

Fully Loaded Pork Taquitos

with Pico de Gallo, Creamy Guacamole & Hot Sauce

Yield: 2

Taquitos, also known as rolled-up tacos with a crispy outer shell. We achieve the taquito crunch factor by baking the stuffed tortillas—full of zesty pork and a blend of Mexican cheeses—no messy deep frying required. That golden crust is the perfect canvas for pico de gallo, creamy guacamole, and hot sauce.
Prep: 5 Cook: 30

  • 1onion
  • 1oz Tex-Mex paste (see below)
  • 1lime
  • 4TBS guacamole
  • 10oz ground pork

  • 1TBS cooking oil

Prep:

Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil (or coat with nonstick cooking spray). Wash and dry produce.

Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion, mince a few slices until you have 1 TBS.

Cook pork filling:

Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion, cook for 3 minutes.

Add pork, cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until pork is browned and cooked through and onion is softened, 4- to 6-minutes.

Stir in Southwest Spice Blend, Tex-Mex paste, and 1⁄3 cup water. Simmer until thickened, 2- to 3-minutes. Turn off heat.

Assemble & bake taquitos:

Meanwhile, drizzle tortillas with 1 TBS olive, brush or rub to completely coat on both sides.

Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Once pork filling is done, add a heaping ¼ cup filling to one side of each tortilla, then sprinkle each with 1 TBS Mexican cheese blend. Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to create taquitos. Place, seam sides down, on prepared sheet.

Tip: Make sure the taquitos are snug on the sheet—this will prevent them from unrolling.

Bake on middle rack until golden-brown and crispy, 8-12 minutes.

Finish & serve:

While taquitos bake, finely dice tomato. Zest and quarter lime.

In a small bowl, combine tomato, minced onion, half the lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt.
