Taquitos

Taco Meat Filling

1 lb ground beef

1/2 brick cream cheese

1/2 envelope taco seasoning

1 cup salsa (or more)

Cook ground beef. Drain off any fat. Add the rest of the ingredients. Simmer 20 minutes.

Microwave torillas so they are soft enough to roll. Put some of the meat mixture in center of flour tortilla. Sprinkle cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese over meat. Roll up and put seam side down on cookie sheet. Brush tortillas lightly with oil. Bake at 400 degrees for 8-12 minutes.

Serve with sour cream, guacamole, and homemade salsa.

My taquitos look huge because when I went to make them I didn't have as many flour tortillas as I thought...what you see is super stuffed taquitos.
