with Pico de Gallo, Creamy Guacamole & Hot Sauce
Don’t get us wrong, we love a traditional taco—but when we’re in the mood to mix things up, we love taquitos, also known as flautas, also-ALSO known as rolled-up tacos with a crispy outer shell. Here, we achieve the signature taquito crunch factor by baking the stuffed tortillas (full of zesty pork and Mexican cheese) for perfectly golden results—no messy deep-frying required. That crispy crust is the perfect canvas for all our favorite toppings: pico de gallo, creamy guacamole, and hot sauce. Yes, you really can have it all.

• Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil (or spray with nonstick cooking spray). Wash and dry all produce. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 1 TBSP. • 4 SERVINGS: Mince a few slices of onion until you have 2 TBSP.
• Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion; cook for 3 minutes. • Add pork*; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through and onion is softened, 4-6 minutes. Stir in Southwest Spice, Tex-Mex paste, and 1/3 cup water. Simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat. • 4 SERVINGS: Use ½ cup water.
• Meanwhile, drizzle tortillas with 1 TBSP olive oil; brush or rub to completely coat. • Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Once pork filling is done, add a heaping ¼ cup filling to one side of each tortilla, then sprinkle with 1 TBSP Mexican cheese. Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to create taquitos. Place seam sides down on prepared sheet. • Bake on middle rack until golden brown and crispy, 8-12 minutes. • 4 SERVINGS: Drizzle tortillas with 2 TBSP olive oil. • TIP: Make sure the taquitos are snug on the sheet—this will prevent them from unrolling.
• While taquitos bake, finely dice tomato. Zest and quarter lime. • In a small bowl, combine tomato, minced onion, half the lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt. • In a separate small bowl, combine guacamole, sour cream, remaining lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. • Divide taquitos between plates. Top with pico de gallo, creamy guacamole, and hot sauce. Serve.
