Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400F.
Step 2
Preheat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chopped yellow onion and grated garlic, season with salt and cook until tender and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes.
Step 3
Add ground beef and spices to the skillet and mix to combine, cook until mostly cooked through, about 5-6 minutes stirring occasionally. Add chiles in adobo, tomato paste then cook until the tomato paste has caramelized and deepened in color. Deglaze with a bit of water or stock if you notice any fond, then season to taste and remove from the heat.
Step 4
Warm the tortillas in a microwave with a damp paper towel or on a clean skillet. Add the cooked ground beef mixture to the center of a warm tortilla, then add a layer of shredded cheese. Carefully fold over the sides of the tortilla, make sure to overlap the sides to create a seam. Place the taquito on a parchment lined baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture.
Step 5
Spray the taquitos with your choice of cooking spray and bake for 10-15 minutes.
Step 6
Remove taquitos from the oven and let them cool slightly before placing them on a bed of romaine lettuce.
Step 7
Top with crema, tomatoes, cilantro, queso cotija, black beans, and dip into your favorite salsa.
