Directions

1
Prepare the beef filling: heat a skillet, add onion and garlic, cook until translucent, then add ground beef and spices; brown thoroughly and simmer with salsa until thickened.
2
Assemble taquitos: lay a tortilla flat, add a heaping tablespoon of beef mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down on a lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
3
Brush taquitos with olive oil to promote crispness and bake until golden and crisp, about 15–20 minutes, turning once halfway.
4
Serve with tomato salsa and a lime wedge; season as desired.
