Chorizo Taquitos

Chorizo Taquitos


1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. In a large skillet, saute the sausage over medium heat until browned - about 6 minutes (I like to break it apart into smaller pieces while it's cooking).

3. Drain 1/4 cup of oil from the cooked sausage.

4. Set sausage aside to cool.

5. Stir salsa and cheese into the skillet of sausage, mix well.

6. Place a tortilla on a work surface and spoon 1/4 cup of the sausage mixture down the center.

7. Fold tortilla in half, then roll up.

8. Secure with toothpicks.

9. Place on foil-lined cookie sheet.

10. Repeat until all sausage/tortillas are gone.

11. **You can prepare ahead until this point, and keep in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake**.

12. Bake, turning them halfway through cooking time so you get even browning, until filling is hot and tortilla is crisp and golden brown - about 18 minutes. **Check them at least 5 minutes early - mine were done quicker than 18 minute last time.**.

13. Cut taquitos in half, crosswise.

14. Serve hot with your choice of condiments!
