How can that be? I cheat. This is a seriously easy, fun and delicious “sorta Mexican” treat. You could make this the center of a meal but mostly its snack food, served with salsa, frijoles, guacamole, sour cream and like that. Read more I got the idea from a friend who likes making chorizo Taquitos. So I took Taquitos to the Mediterranean. Okay, Poland isn’t on the Med; hay, I like the sausage. Don’t get too tricky here but have fun, Moi saying don’t get too habile, sorry. Joe, why not try this with a spicy German sausage? Just cook the sausage a bit before you slice it into strips. Bon Appetite. See less
Ingredients
- • One or two 5” (13cm) pieces of the sausage (your choice) you want to wind up with 12 X 5” strips of sausage about the width of your little finger. shopping list
- • 12 corn tortillas shopping list
- • Good oil for the frying shopping list
- • salt and fresh ground pepper shopping list
How to make it
- 1. Slice the sausage into strips 5” long and about the thickness of your (my) little finger. If you’re using “raw” sausage cook it a bit to firm it up before slicing.
- 2. Warm up the tortillas so you can roll them without them breaking.
- 3. Heat up about 2” of cooking oil pretty darn hot. (350 – 375 degrees F)
- 4. Rig up something to drain the Taquitos on when cooked (I always forget this).
- 5. Roll the tortillas around the sausage strips and hold them in the hot oil with your super tongs until they hold their shape.
- 6. Fry, turning two or three times until golden brown and crispy.
- 7. Drain and serve.
- Garnish any old way you like. Guacamole and sour cream is my favorite but here you can go crazy. Goza la vida! (Enjoy life!)
