Sheet Pan Pork Taquitos

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? A Symphony of Flavors: Sheet Pan Pork Taquitos! To season or not to season. Everyone has a basic slow cooker recipe for preparing roast pork. I like to keep mine fairly simple so, when finished, I have several options for the recipes I have in mind later on. If you’re thinking these taquitos sound too bland for your palate, simply add spices like chili powder, garlic, cumin, onion, and kosher salt during the cooking process. (Some of my friends use a prepackaged taco seasoning mix, for convenience.) You’re the chef, so you’re in charge. Make sense? Then carry on. 

SHEET PAN PORK TAQUITOS

Ingredients: 

12 corn tortillas 

3 cups pulled pork, precooked 

1 cup Mexican blend cheeses,  finely shredded

3-4 tablespoons butter, melted

Ranch dressing, for drizzling

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400°. Spray a sheet pan with nonstick oil. Set aside. In a bowl, combine pulled pork and Mexican blend cheeses. Mix well. Warm corn tortilla shells in the microwave until malleable. Place one tortilla down on a flat surface. Fill it with pork and cheese mixture just below the center of the tortilla. Roll up the tortilla tightly and transfer it, seam side down, to the sheet pan. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Using a silicone brush, lightly oil the tops of the tortillas with melted butter. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until tortillas are crispy. Drizzle with ranch dressing. Serve with shredded lettuce, red onion, salsa, cilantro, and lime.
