It's not the traditional method that I grew up on but basically what I do is
crock pot a small beef and pork roast (overnight is perfect) with a cut up,
not diced onion and proper taco type seasoning. Let them both cool and shred
them and mix the meats together. Put oil in a pan and lightly fry the corn
tortillas on both sides, doing probably 10 to 15 at a time. Now it's
assembly time!, break a bunch of toothpicks in half and start to fill your
tortillas with the mixed meat mixture and a slice of onion (occasionally I
will also add cheese), roll them up and use the half of a toothpick to hold
them together. Once they are built you can either fry them (more
traditional) or bake them. Frying them results in a crispier better product
but baking is a bit healthier and a fine substitute. Lightly salt them and
serve with guacamole. Shredded beef is the more common filling but can lead
to a dry taquito, adding the pork results in a moister taquito. They do
freeze decently if you separate each layer with a paper towel prior to
freezing, reheating is best in the oven.
