1 Yellow Onion
1 Tbsp. Southwest Spice Blend
6 Flour Tortillas
1 Lime
4 Tbsp. Sour Cream
1 tsp. hot sauce
10 oz. ground pork
1 Tex-Mex Paste squeeze container
1/2 cu. mexican cheese
1 roma tomato
4 Tbsp. guacamole
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil (or spray with nonstick cooking spray).
Wash and dry all produce. Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion; mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP for 4 servings.
Heat a large drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add sliced onion; cook for 3 minutes. Add pork; cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until pork is browned and cooked through and onion is softened, 4-6 minutes. Stir in Southwest Spice, Tex-Mex paste, and 1/3 cup water (½ cup for 4 servings). Simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat.
Meanwhile, drizzle tortillas with 1 TBSP olive oil (2 TBSP for 4 servings); brush or rub to completely coat. Place tortillas on a clean work surface.
Once pork filling is done, add a heaping ¼ cup filling to one side of each tortilla, then sprinkle each with 1 TBSP Mexican cheese. Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to create taquitos. Place seam sides down on prepared sheet. TIP - make sure the taquitos are snug on the sheet—this will prevent them from unrolling.
Bake on middle rack until golden brown and crispy, 8-12 minutes.
While taquitos bake, finely dice tomato. Zest and quarter lime. In a small bowl, combine tomato, minced onion, half the lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt. In a separate small bowl, combine guacamole, sour cream, remaining lime zest, and a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide taquitos between plates. Top with pico de gallo, creamy guacamole, and hot sauce. Serve.
