The Crazy Haole's Taquitos

Total Time: 30 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
• 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce
• 1 tablespoon hot chili sauce
• 1 (16 ounce) package flour tortillas (10 inch)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup canola oil (for frying...less if you wish..about 1/4 inch deep in your pan)

Recipe

• 1 place refried beans, spaghetti sauce and hot chili sauce into medium sized mixing bowl and stir together well.
• 2 cut flour tortillas into approximately 3â€? x 4â€? squares (cut down the middle and then square up so you get 2 squares per tortilla).
• 3 place approximately 1 tablespoon of the mixture along the long side of each tortilla square and then roll up and seal.
• 4 each roll should be approximately 1/2â€? thick and about 4â€? long.
• 5 place oil (about 1/4" deep) in the bottom of a skillet and add salt.
• 6 heat oil fairly hot (deep fry heat) so that it is ready to fry.
• 7 (watch carefully! if the oil smokes, it is too hot-- take the pan off the heat, turn the heat down and try again in a few minutes).
• 8 you can test by trying to cook one taquito first-- it should not burn quickly, but should turn brown within a few minutes.
• 9 when the oil is ready, place rolled tortilla’s in skillet.
• 10 fry for a few minutes then turn (when bottom side is browned).
• 11 the taquitos should be golden brown all over.
• 12 remove carefully from pan and repeat until all are cooked.
• 13 serve hot with sour cream, salsa, or other toppings and dips to suit.
