Gluten Free Beef Taquitos
Gluten-free beef taquitos are a quick and easy dinner made with seasoned ground beef, melty cheese and crispy tortillas. This simple, family-friendly recipe is perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, or satisfying snack cravings.
Equipment
- Silicone Baking Sheet optional
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef lean (90/10)
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp GF taco seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 cup salsa
- 2 cups Mexican blend cheese
- 1 package gluten free tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a frying pan, add together ground beef and seasonings.
- Cook ground beef until completely cooked through.
- When ground beef is done, reduce heat to medium low and add in salsa. Simmer for 1-2 minutes then remove from heat.
- Remove tortilla shells from the package and lay flat on the countertop.
- Place a few spoonfuls of the beef mixture in the center of the flour tortilla then sprinkle with desired amount of shredded cheese.
- Roll the tortilla around the beef mixture making sure to leave about 1" from the edge free. (This keeps the beef and cheese from spilling out while baking.)
- Place the taquitos on a baking sheet with the seam side down so that the taquito remains closed during baking.
- Repeat this process for the remaining taquitos.
- Bake the taquitos for 10-15 minutes until golden brown on top. (When baking pay close attention to the edges. The edges will cook faster than the center and can burn quickly. If this starts to happen, place a piece of aluminum foil over the top of the taquitos and continue baking for the remainder of the time.)
- Remove from heat.
- Top with favorite toppings and serve.
- Enjoy!
