Ingredients
1 (10oz) pack of Hodo Adobo Mexican Crumbles Locate Product
9 tortillas
1/4 cup cooking oil
Tomato sauce aka salsa roja
3 vine tomatoes, about 1 lb
5 garlic cloves, minced or whole
1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce
1 bay leaf
4-5 fresh mint leaves
1/4 tsp turmeric
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt
Accompaniments
Chopped lettuce or cabbage
Chipotle crema or any plain crema
Instructions
Start by heating water up in a saucepan, while that’s heating up prepare an ice bath for the tomatoes. Then make an X on the bottom of the tomato, not too deep just barely on the surface of the tomato.
Once the water starts to boil, blanch tomatoes for 30 sec or until skin starts to peel. Immediately drop them in the ice bath and peel.
[Add] them to a blender alongside chipotle pepper, garlic, and seasonings. Blend for 20-30 sec, do not over blend. Then add them into a sauce pan and simmer on low-medium heat for 10 min.
While that’s cooking, add 1 tbsp of cooking oil to a medium pan, on medium heat and add your packet of Adobo Mexican Crumbles. Cook and stir for 10 min or until semi crispy. Set aside.
On the same cleaned pan, cook corn tortillas for 15-20 so it softens and it makes it easier to roll of the taquitos with the crumble filling. This recipe rolls up about 9 taquitos.
Then on the same non-stick pan add 1-3 tbsp of cooking oil (depends how many can fit on the pan) on medium heat, and fry each side for 3-5 min. Set aside.
Fill a wide mouth bowl with some sauce, add crispy taquitos on top, your choice of crema and lettuce. Enjoy.
