Beef Taquitos


2 (12 ounce) cans Roast Beef (I used left over roast beef from Sunday Dinner)
1 package of Fajita Seasonings
25 lightly Fried Corn Tortillas (We prefer Flour tortillas so that is what I used)
Quick fry the tortillas I use pam in a non stick fry pan and just warm the tortillas. If you don't fry the tortillas first, they will split and not hold together. In a fry pan warm the beef with the seasoning until the beef is shredded and hot. Remove from stove. Spoon in a small amount of beef mixture into each tortilla. These should be small in diameter. Roll and hold together with a toothpick. Fry the taquitos in hot oil until they are crisp and warmed through.
I make sure the tortillas are sprayed with pam and then I bake them in the over at 400 degress for 15 minutes. It gets rid of the problem of hot oil and children and is way less calories. They turned out just as crisp.

When I use left over roast beef I have cooked the roast in a dutch oven covered in dry lipton onion soup mix at 250 degress for about 8 hours. Twenty minutes before I serve the roast I pour a beef broth over the roast. This consists of hot water and beef boullion. This flavors the roast a little more and lets it sit in the juice and makes it very moist. The meat is tender and juicy and perfect for left over sandwhiches or taquitos.
