Taquitos de calle Olvera Recipe

• 30 minutes to make
• Serves 3

The first taquito I remember eating was about 58 years ago at a little stand on Olvera Street; the birthplace of Los Angeles. In fact, it was in the little shop on the left of the photo. I had them there again about five years ago and nothing’s changed, except the guy who cooks them and that tourist lady wasn’t there all that time.

These were all beef taquitos, taquitos con carne but in El Desemboque, over on the golf coast, I had my first shrimp taquitos. Taquitos are also made with pork, goat, venison and chicken. Taquitos are easy to make, taste delicious and you can use any salsa you like. My favorite salsa for is these is Salsa Nopalitos and I posted a recipe for that but today guacamole seems popular. Okay, why not, but do yourself a favor and try the nopalitos, muy regalado. This recipe calls for Mexican shredded beef, Carne de Res Deshebrada, so if you are using mince meat or chicken you’ll need to cook those with some spices. Check out the Mexican shredded beef recipe and use some of those spices. Goza la vida! (Enjoy life!). RJ See less
