Chorizo Taquitos Name: Jennifer Miller Base: Keesler AFB Recipe: Ingredients 1 (16 ounce) packages beef chorizo sausage, bulk, casing removed 1 cup medium chunky salsa, drained 1 cup mild cheddar cheese, shredded 6 -8 large flour tortillas guacamole (optional) sour cream (optional) Directions Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large skillet, saute the sausage over medium heat until browned - about 6 minutes (I like to break it apart into smaller pieces while it's cooking). Drain 1/4 cup of oil from the cooked sausage. Set sausage aside to cool. Stir salsa and cheese into the skillet of sausage, mix well. Place a tortilla on a work surface and spoon 1/4 cup of the sausage mixture down the center. Fold tortilla in half, then roll up. Secure with toothpicks. Place on foil-lined cookie sheet. Repeat until all sausage/tortillas are gone. **You can prepare ahead until this point, and keep in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake**. Bake until filling is hot and tortilla is crisp and golden brown - about 18 minutes. Cut taquitos in half, crosswise. Serve hot with your choice of condiments!
