Ingredients

For the taquitos:

  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 can chopped green chiles, 4 ounces
  • A few leaves fresh cilantro or parsley, finely chopped
  • Vegetable or canola oil, for frying
  • 12 (6-inch) corn tortillas

For the dipping sauce for burritos and taquitos:

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder, a palm full
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1/2 a palm full
  • A pinch ground cinnamon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (28-ounce) can fire roasted crushed tomatoes

For the burritos:

  • 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground pork
  • 1 small zucchini, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated or finely chopped
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons (medium to hot) chipotle in adobo, mashed into paste
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 (19-ounce) can black beans (recommended: Progresso)
  • 2 cups shredded Chihuahua cheese or Monterey Jack or Cheddar
  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, or 1 heart romaine, shredded

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

For the taquitos:

Season the chicken with cumin, oregano, salt and pepper and mix in the chiles and cilantro or parsley. Dip the tortillas in 1-inch warm oil to soften. Tightly roll a couple of forkfuls of chicken up in the tortillas. Place seam side down and bake 12 minutes.

For the sauce:

Heat a sauce pot over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, red onion and garlic and soften 5 minutes then season with sugar, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, salt and pepper and stir in the fire roasted tomatoes. Reduce heat to low and simmer.

For the burritos:

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. Add the pork, brown it for 2 minutes then add in zucchini, garlic, chipotle in adobo and salt. Cook for about 7 to 8 minutes more.

Heat the last tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil in a small nonstick skillet. Add the black beans and mash with a fork. Season the beans with salt and fry until crisp at edges, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Soften tortillas in microwave or in hot oven. On each tortilla pile a little refried black beans, cheese, pork and lettuce. Tuck in the sides then wrap and roll the tortilla.

    Everyone seemed to really like these. I would just like to know if there is a video of how to make the corn tortillas playable. I was dipping and burning my fingers. The corn tortillas I did make were much tastier then the flour I resorted to using. But after ruining about five I gave up. I made some good chips.
