Baked Taquitos

Still using up the pork.  Needed to make a convenience food to make it so I don't get take out in the last crazy days leading up to Christmas.

Baked Taquitos

1 lb. cooked and shredded meat
1-2 T. Taco seasoning
2 C. grated cheese
2 T. lime juice
1/2 cup red or green salsa
1 can refried beans
3 oz. softened cream cheese
36 small four tortillas (corn will fall apart)
oil to spread on the top of the taquitos

Preheat oven to 425
In a gallon zippered bag, combine all ingredients except tortillas.  Mix thoroughly, cut a small corner off the bag and set aside.

Warm the tortillas.  Take on Tortilla at a time and squeeze about two tablespoons of filling on the tortilla.  The filling expands so don't put too much in.  Roll the tortilla as tightly as possible and place them seam side down on the baking sheet making sure Taquitos are not touching.  Put a small amount of oil on the taquitos and spread with your fingers or a small brush.  Bake for 15- 20 min.

To freeze, cool completely, place on zippered bag in the freezer.  When ready to serve, remove as many taquitos as desire.  Microwave individually wrapped in a napkin on defrost setting for 1 min..  If warming a bunch up warm in the oven at 350 for 6 min.
