Taco Torpedos


I just got a new Paula magazine yesterday and it has sooo many awesome things in it!!! Today I chose something quick and easy, taco torpedos.

What you need:
1 pound lean ground beef*
1 cup frozen chopped or prediced fresh onion
1 clove garlic, pressed
2 cups finely shredded mexican four cheese blend, divided
3/4 cup black bean and corn medium salsa
1/2 teaspoon salt
12 (6 inch) soft flour tortillas
1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil

*I used a can of refried beans instead of ground beef just for a change. Next time I may use ground beef and beans.

What you need to do:
Preheat oven to 425. Line a baking sheet with foil. In a large nonstick skillet, add beef, onion, and garlic. Cook over medium high heat, stirring until beef is browned and crumbly. Drain. In a medium bowl, combine meat mixture, 1 cup cheese, salsa, and salt; stir well. Brush** one side of flour tortilla with oil, place tortilla oil side down on prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 3 tablespoons meat mixture down center of tortilla; sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon cheese. Roll up tortilla and place seam side down on baking sheet. Repeat for rest of tortillas. Bake for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown.

**I dont like using cooking brushes, so i just used a fork to spread it (not a spoon bc that would get too much oil on the tortilla.)
