Nofusstaquitos Recipes

Steps:

• In medium saute pan over medium to high heat, add the oil, onion, red bell pepper, jalapeno pepper, potatoes, garlic and chicken. Saute until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are soft. Add the oregano and cumin and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Deglaze the pan with the tequila and lime juice and let simmer until the liquid is almost evaporated.
• Remove from heat. Shred the chicken with 2 forks and let cool. Stir in the cilantro.
• Wrap the tortillas in paper towels and microwave for 2 minutes to make the tortillas pliable. Place about 4 tablespoons of the chicken mixture on 1 tortilla, roll tightly and close with a toothpick.
• In large cast iron skillet, heat 1/2 inch of canola oil to 350 degrees F.
• Cooking in batches, add the rolls to the hot oil, placing them seam-side down. Cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes, and turn to cook the other side until golden brown.
• Remove and drain on paper towels. Remove the toothpicks and serve with the Guacamole and Tomtillo Salsa.
• Place the avocados, jalapeno, red onion, tomato, beer, sour cream, lime juice, cilantro, salt and pepper in a blender and puree.
• Rub the tomatillos with oil; grill until browned all over.
• Place the tomatillos in a blender with the red onion, garlic, cilantro, vinegar, hot sauce, 1/2 cup of the tomatoes and 1/4 cup of water and puree. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the sour cream and remaining 3 tablespoons tomatoes and serve.

Steps:

• Bring water to a simmer in a skillet over medium heat; add chicken. Cover skillet and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken from water and cool; shred with a fork.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir chicken, tomatoes, green onions, chicken broth, flour, garlic, cumin, oregano, chili powder, and salt until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Heat remaining vegetable oil in a heavy 10-inch skillet over medium heat; carefully dip tortillas in the hot oil to soften, about 1 minute. Remove tortillas with tongs and drain on paper towels, reserving oil. Heat oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Tightly roll each tortilla around the filling and secure with a wooden toothpick.
• Fry rolled-up tortillas, working in batches, in hot oil until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove taquitos with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve taquitos on a bed of shredded lettuce with guacamole on the side.

Steps:

• Drain gravy from roast beef.
• Set aside.
• Fork shred the roast beef.
• Add just enough gravy to moisten. (Too soupy and it will splatter when frying).
• Heat tortillas (4 at a time) in microwave to soften. About 1 minute.
• Place approx 1 1/2 tablespoons of roast beef in center of tortilla (in a line).
• Fold tortilla over and roll to resemble a cigar.
• Fasten together with a toothpick(I found this makes it less likely to come undone when frying).
• Heat about 1/2 inch oil in a frying pan.
• To fry, place tortilla seam side down in hot oil.
• Fry till golden brown.
• Turn over and fry other side.
• Remove to a plate that has been cover with a paper towel to absorb oil.
• Remove toothpicks and sprinkle with salt.
• Serve with your favorite guacamole.

Steps:

• Put the chicken breasts in a 4-quart pan, add salt and water, and loosely cover. Bring to the boil then simmer gently for an hour.
• Drain, saving the broth. Set the chicken aside to cool then chop into small pieces.
• Add the oil to the same pot and sauté the bell peppers and onion until tender. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until warmed through.
• Blend the tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, garlic, and oregano in a blender and add this mixture to the pan, as well as 2 cups of the broth. Bring to the boil, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add salt to taste.
• Heat the oil in a skillet and cook the tortillas one at a time until they are soft. This takes about 5 seconds per tortilla. Drain well. Strain the liquid from the chicken and put a tablespoon of chicken in the middle of each tortilla.
• Roll the tortilla around the chicken to make a flute shape. Use toothpicks to hold the shape. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and fry them in batches for a couple of minutes or until they hold their shape without the toothpicks.
• Remove the toothpicks and serve three taquitos on each plate with guacamole for dipping.

Steps:

• For the aioli: Stir together the mayonnaise, adobo sauce and lime juice in a small bowl. Stir in enough water (a tablespoon or so) to make a thick sauce that you can drizzle. Refrigerate while you make the taquitos to blend the flavors.
• For the taquitos: Heat the olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes and onions and season with salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until the onion softens, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and cumin and toss. Make a space in the center of the pan and add the adobo sauce and tomato paste; let toast for a minute and then stir into the vegetables. Add 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sweet potatoes are very tender and the sauce is very thick, about 5 minutes (you can add a few more tablespoons of water if the pan dries out too quickly). Stir in the lime zest and transfer to a medium bowl to cool slightly, about 10 minutes.
• Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a straight-sided skillet until it reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Wrap the tortillas in a damp kitchen towel and microwave until warmed and pliable, about 1 minute.
• Working with a couple tortillas at a time, form about 2 tablespoons of filling into a log and roll in a tortilla to make a cigar shape, leaving the ends open. Secure closed with toothpicks. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
• Fry the taquitos in 2 or 3 batches (don't crowd the pan) until crisp and golden, 3 to 4 minutes per batch, letting the oil return to 350 degrees F between batches. Drain on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet and season with salt. Remove the toothpicks.
• Serve the taquitos on a bed of romaine, topped with the kimchi, a drizzle of aioli and the cilantro leaves.
