Cheesy Baked BBQ Pork Taquitos

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 4 hours
Total Time 4 hours 30 minutes
Servings 10 taquitos

Ingredients

  • 1 Recipe Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas (you will not use all the meat)
  • 10 taco size flour tortillas
  • 2 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup sweet barbecue sauce like Sweet Baby Rays
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon ancho chili powder (may sub chili powder)

Chipotle Ranch*

  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 teaspoon ranch dressing seasoning packet mix
  • 1/2 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chili powder

Instructions

  • Prepare Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas according to directions up until baking on Step 3 (not necessary to bake to crisp beef).
  • Meanwhile, whisk together all of the Chipotle Ranch ingredients in medium bowl; refrigerate.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F when ready to assemble taquitos.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, barbecue sauce and ancho chili powder.
  • Remove pork from slow cooker and add to a strainer in order to remove excess liquid (or else your taquitos will get soggy) then add 2 1/2 cups - 3 cups pork to cream cheese mixture depending on how "saucy" you want them. Mix until evenly combined. Add cheese and mix until evenly combined.
  • Add a heaping 1/4 cup pork mixture to each tortilla and roll up tightly. Place filled tortillas seam side down on a baking sheet. IF MAKING AHEAD, you can stop at this point, cover taquitos with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • Lightly brush each tortilla with olive oil. Bake at 425 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until golden (add an extra 5 minutes if taquitos have been refrigerated). Broil for extra crispiness. Serve with Chipotle Ranch.

Notes

*If you love to dip then you may want to double the Chipotle Ranch.
