Baked Taquitos

Is anyone else having a hard time with homeschooling? So starting yesterday they switched everyone to online work instead of packets. It has taken a lot to get used to. Jace has a class meeting at 9:30 every morning and today he pretty much worked on online homework until 3:30. It's good that it keeps him busy but it's so hard to be the one in charge of making sure assignments get turned in, everything gets printed (since he can only do so much online, he has to print assignments, write on them and then re-upload them or write on a notebook and then send it in that way), and if he doesn't understand something, have to be there.

On a positive side note, we invested in Disney+ and have watched Onward and part of Mandalorian. Great investment so far!

Tonight, after all the craziness, I made these Oven Fried Beef Taquitos. I changed a few things - including eliminating the zucchini. We did not use canola oil (even though the photo shows it).

Ingredients:
1 pound beef
3 tbsp chili powder
2 tsp onion powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
shredded cheese, 1/2 cup to 1 cup
10-12 corn tortillas

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 F. Spray a pan and heat beef, chili powder, onion powder, cumin and salt over medium-high heat. Cook until beef is cooked through - about 5-7 minutes.

Take out a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray as well. Spread tortillas out on a baking sheet in two overlapping rows. Bake for about 2 minutes, transfer to a plate. Working quickly, add beef mixture and some cheese in the tortillas and fold like a cigar. Place seam-down on the baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and coat the top and sides with cooking spray. Bake for 14-18 minutes.

Mine definitely fell apart and did not turn out pretty but they were quite tasty. I dipped mine in sour cream or salsa.
