I always need an easy, on-the-go dinner. With kids in sports it's a must!
This is the perfect dinner for spring-time baseball games and the kids LOVE them! They're basically mess free for the car too:)
Ingredients:
Olive oil
12-16oz roast beef deli meat, chopped small
2t Worcestershire sauce
1 green pepper, finely chopped (or whatever color pepper you have on hand)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 8oz package cream cheese, softened
10-12oz provolone cheese (I usually buy the deli slices)
10 flour tortillas
Directions:
In
a large skillet over medium-high heat add the oil, beef and onion. Cook until tender. Add the Worcestershire sauce and pepper if desired. Cook and stir for 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or silpat liners) and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the beef mixture and cream cheese until thoroughly combined.
Spoon 2-3 tbsp. of
the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Tear up provolone cheese and put a layer on top of the beef mixture. Roll the tortilla around the
filling as tight as you can. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling. Make sure the taquitos are
not touching.
Spray the tops of the
taquitos lightly with cooking spray or brush lightly with olive oil and
sprinkle with salt. Bake 15-20 minutes or until the taquitos are crisp
and golden brown. Enjoy!!

This is one of my favorite lunches folks! It's just so hearty, fresh and filling, but doesn't make you feel gross after eating it. My kind of meal! And really, you can make it your own. Add whatever toppings sound good at the time. I've even done a pizza twist to it and added pizza sauce instead of pesto with peppers, onions and pepperoni as toppings. I have to give a big shout-out to my sister in law, Jen, for steering me toward this gem. I don't know what I would do without it in my life:)
