Cheesy Beef Taquitos

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef
• ½ onion, diced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 ounces taco seasoning
• 1 cup Gordo’s Homestyle Recipe Queso Dip
• ½ cup water
• 16 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
• About 15 fajita-size flour tortillas
• Cooking oil, for frying

For Serving

• Gordo’s Homestyle Recipe Queso Dip, warmed
• Sour cream
• Avocado lime ranch

Instructions

Brown the ground beef and diced onion in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the beef is fully cooked, drain off any excess grease.

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes. Add the taco seasoning, 1 cup of Gordo’s Homestyle Recipe Queso Dip and ½ cup water. Stir everything together and let it simmer for a few minutes, then remove it from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

To assemble the taquitos, sprinkle some shredded mozzarella onto each tortilla and add a couple spoonfuls of the beef mixture. Roll each tortilla up tightly.

Add about 1 inch of cooking oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Working in batches, add the taquitos seam-side down. Fry for about 6–8 minutes total, turning every few minutes, until they’re golden brown and crispy on all sides.

Transfer the cooked taquitos to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Serve them hot with warm Gordo’s Homestyle Recipe Queso Dip, sour cream and avocado lime ranch for dipping!
