Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef
½ yellow onion minced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 can diced green chiles 4 ounce
2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning
16 corn tortillas 6 inch
shredded Mexican blend cheese
Olive oil

Instructions

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook 1 pound lean ground beef and ½ yellow onion until the beef is browned and nearly cooked through.
To the skillet add 2 cloves garlic, 1 can diced green chiles, and 2 tablespoons Taco Seasoning. Saute until everything has come together and the beef is completely cooked through, remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil and brush it with Olive oil. Place some of the 16 corn tortillas on the baking sheet in a single layer, brush the tops with olive oil, and bake for 3-4 minutes to soften them.
Remove the baked tortillas and continue with another batch of them until they are all prepared.
To assemble the taquitos, take one tortilla, add about two tablespoons of the beef filling, and place it on the lower third of the tortilla. Add some of the shredded Mexican blend cheese, then tightly roll the taquito and place it on the baking sheet with the seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Bake the taquitos for 15 minutes, remove from the oven and turn each taquito, then bake for an additional 10 minutes.
Serve the taquitos with fresh cilantro, sour cream, salsa, or your favorite dipping sauce!
