Hope everything turns out well! Sorry to hear about your aunt.
Is it time for Entmoot 2005 yet?
Oh...when you get back and have more time, can you go over how you made the taquitos one more time? Bill is demanding that I larn to make 'em...

Taquitos that I make are more in the method than the ingredients so I will describe it for ya. I make 'em the way my little abuelita made 'em. :-)
First, dice up some taters and parboil 'em. Don't let 'em get soft then drain the water and run cold water over 'em till they are cool so they don't keep cookin and get too soft.
While the taters are cookin you can fry up some sausage and/or bacon. We had both in em at entmoot. Ya fry em up and then set em aside on the plate leaving all the grease in the skillet.
In the grease fry some smushed garlic and onion. When the onion gets close to done add in some chopped up chiles. Include mild bell peppers for flavor and hot ones too.
When all those are sauted to being limp have the grease real hot then dump in the cooled taters. Stir 'em around browning but turn down the heat. Add salt, pepper, cominos, basil, red pepper and more garlic powder. Cook on kinda low heat crumble up the meat in the taters and cook for a half hour or so.
Then, just crack some eggs over all that mixture and stir it around and let it all cook till the eggs are done. Ya may want more spices added into the eggs.
That's the fillin. Tortillas are best cooked slow over a fire. Just till soft. They kinda bubble when they're ready.
How's that?
