Instructions

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Lightly coat baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small bowl combine steak, cheese, corn, green onions, 2 tablespoon cilantro, cumin, garlic powder and ¼ teaspoon kosher salt.
Layout tortillas on your work surface.
Starting with one tortilla, lay it flat and arrange ¼ cup of steak mixture in a line across down the center.
Roll tortilla tightly around the filling so it is snug. Lay it seam-side-down on the prepared baking sheet.
Prepare the remaining tortillas the same way. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each taquito so all sides will bake evenly.
Spray taquitos with non-stick spray and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon kosher salt.
Bake for 15 minutes or until taquitos are crisp and golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Top with shredded lettuce, tomatoes, red onions and ¼ cup chopped cilantro.

Notes

Serve with guacamole, sour cream, salsa, or HERDEZ® Guacamole Salsa.

You can use leftover steak, chicken or pulled pork for your meat choice. To make these vegetarian, use black beans, pinto beans or refried beans instead. If using refried beans, spread a thin layer in the center of tortilla first, then add the rest of the filling.

TO STORE: Store any leftover taquitos in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

TO FREEZE: You can also freeze leftovers. Transfer to a resealable bag or freezer safe container and freeze for up to 4 months.
