Easy Beef Taquitos!

This post is to continue my taquitos post so here are the beef ones :) 

1 LB. Ground beef

1 Green bell pepper

1 Fresh Jalapeno

1 Onion

1 Packet of Taco Seasoning

1. Brown Hamburger Meat 
2. Add Seasoning

5. add all of the veggies to the meat and let simmer 10 minutes or until they start to get soft
6. Warm tortillas in a damp paper towel or tortilla warmer in the microwave for one minute (this makes it easier to roll them without the tortilla cracking)

8. wrap tightly
9. Line Cookie sheet with tinfoil and spray lightly with cooking spray (pam)

Jalapeno Cream Cheese Taquitos

So the Boyfriend and I happen to LOVE the cream cheese and jalapeno taquitos that they sell at 7-11. We enjoy them enough to try and make them ourselves. J We planned on eating them for dinner one night so we also planned on regular beef taquitos; both have similar steps so I will do one tutorial with both of them.

To start off you need:

Cream Cheese ones:

2-3 blocks Cream cheese (we used Kroger brand but any cream cheese will work and the whipped might save you some time)

1 can of diced jalapenos

2 fresh jalapenos

6” tortillas

1.      Cut fresh Jalapenos

2.      Put all (fresh and canned)  jalapenos into food processor

3.      Process until “real” little but not super mushy

4.      Cut blocks of cream cheese into food processor.

5.      Process it until the cream cheese is easy to mix and work with. (You could also microwave it for like 30-45 seconds but watch it closely because you don’t want it runny)

6.      Mix all of the cream cheese with all of the chopped up jalapenos until even. (you don’t want all of the jalapenos in one bite J)

7.      Stick 6  tortillas in damp paper towels or a tortilla warmer for one minute

8.      Spoon 1 tbs of cream cheese mixture in the tortilla

9.      Wrap tortilla tightly

10.  Preheat oven to 400

11.  Line a cookie sheet with tin foil and spray lightly with pam or any other cooking spray

12.  Line up the rolled tortillas on cookie sheet and lightly spray the tops of them
