  1. These were very good! Kind of like a chimichanga but not so big. They weren't too difficult to make either. I had to use the toothpicks, that frying part is a little tricky.
     
  2. Delicious! And easier than it sounds. I used beef and they were yummy! Here in San Diego, we call these taquitos or rolled tacos. Thanks for teaching me how to make them at home!
     
  3. These were yummy. A bit on the bland side for my spice-loving family. But I loved the thought of the tomatoes, garlic and onion. Next time, I'll add some cumin or chili powder to kick it up a bit.
