New Book Just Released!!!

I will be on Studio 5 Monday, January 10th cooking "Beef Taquitos". They are fabulous to freeze and just pull out a few for lunch, or a bunch for dinner. Don't you hate having to cook lunch for just yourself and maybe a toddler or two when kids are at school and hubby at work? I love to just be able to pull a few of these out of the freezer and stick in the oven for a mess-free lunch.

Beef Taquitos
4-5 cups cooked chopped roast beef
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can corn, drained
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, or mexican blend
1 1/2 cups salsa
30 flour tortillas
oil for frying
Slow cook roast 6-8 hours until it shreds and then chop finely. In a large bowl, mix beef, beans, corn, cheese and salsa. In a frying pan, heat oil to medium heat. One at a time, using tongs, dip tortillas into hot oil for 5-10 seconds until it begins to bubble slightly. (You may have to use a spatula to get it out so it doesn't tear.) Set aside on paper towels. (Do only about 10 at a time, fill, roll, and repeat.) Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of the mixture, more or less if you want them thicker or thinner. Roll tightly and place seam side down on a cookie sheet. Bake 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes until heated through. If freezing, place filled cookie sheet in freezer until taquitos are firm. Then you can place several in gallon size freezer bags and pull them out individually as you need them. Bake from frozen 400 degrees for 20 minutes!!!

  1. Great job on the show Suzie! I was talking to Sharon this morning and she said you were going to be on. I always watch Studio 5 and it was so fun to see you! Fabulous!

  2. Saw you on Studio 5. One thing I thought the vinyl tablecloth idea great except the fact that you just throw it away when done with it? That seems extremely detrimental to the pocketbook AND the environment! What is great about vinyl is that it is washable and completely reusable. Just a thought. Also was wondering are the calorie counts for your on the go meals listed in your book?

  3. I don't know the answer for the calorie counts. BUT... myfitnesspal.com has a recipe program that you enter the ingredients and it figures out calories per serving. I'm sure there are other websites or programs that can do the same.

  4. When you slow cook the roast do you put any liquid in with it or just throw a roast the crock pot by itself and turn it on low? I'm an idiot when it comes to things like this.
