Beef Taquitos

• Shredded Beef - make a day (or two) ahead
• 3 pounds beef stew meat
• 1/2 large sweet onion - chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons Bragg Liquid Aminos (or substitute with soy sauce)
• http://bragg.com/products/la.html
• Salt, Pepper & Onion powder - to season the shredded meat
• Rolling the Beef & Frying the Taquitos
• 2 packages - 24 count Mission extra thin corn tortillas
• Buttery cooking spray
• Clean dishtowel
• Microwave
• Toothpicks
• 48 fl oz canola oil
• Deep fat fryer
• Salt

1. In a large soup stock pan combine the first 4 ingredients and fill with enough water to cover the meat.
2. Bring to a boil; skim off as much foam as you can.rnReduce heat; cover and simmer about 2 hours or until the meat is very tender. Take off the heat and let sit, covered, about another hour.
3. With a slotted spoon take out the meat and place onto a large platter; using two forks shred it all.rnSprinkle with salt, pepper and onion powder to taste, add a few drops of the broth, store in an airtight container and refrigerate.
4. Save the broth for other uses. (We always make a vegetable, barley soup to go with our Tacquitos).
5. Place 5 tortillas that have been generously sprayed with cooking spray onto half of the dishtowel. Fold the other half over the top and microwave (high power) for 1 minute.
6. Let the tortillas cool a few seconds, but not too much or they will crack when rolling; just until they are easy to handle.
7. Put 1-1/2 tablespoon shredded meat on each tortilla.rnRoll up very tightly, securing with 2 tooth picks, let them sit while repeating with the next 5 tortillas - and up until you have as many as needed.
8. Note: at this point the Taquitos can be refrigerated up to overnight in an airtight container. Otherwise fry.
9. Fry in deep hot fat (350u0b0) for 1-2 minutes; fry 3-4 at a time, don't over crowd.rnTransfer to a platter lined with a paper towel; sprinkle the hot Taquitos with salt.
10. Continue frying, placing a paper towel between each layer.
11. Serve with green chile sauce, my favorite; or fresh salsa and sour cream.
