Mona's Taquitos

1 lb. ground beef
chopped onion
taco seasoning
3/4 c. cheddar cheese, shredded
12-15 corn tortillas (the thicker, the better)
oil for deep-frying
toothpicks

In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef with chopped onion, seasoning with salt & pepper as desired. When beef is cooked, sprinkle with 2-3 T. taco seasoning, or to taste. Remove from heat and stir in cheese.

Heat oil, add one tortilla, pulling it out as soon as it floats to the top...about 2-3 seconds. Remove to a paper towel-covered plate. Repeat for all tortillas.

Spoon meat & cheese mixture into center of cooked tortillas, roll, and secure with toothpicks. Deep fry until crisp, drain, and serve with salsa, guacamole, and seasoned rice. YUM!
