Smoked Pork Taquitos

I had a light bulb turn on when I had left over pulled pork...make taquitos.

This 7lb pork butt was originally made for tamales. It has a chile injection and a rub that consists of oregano, minced garlic, dried onion flakes, salt and pepper.

I used my meatrakes to shred and added some reserved chile sauce

Then I rolled the meat up in yellow corn tortillas and cooked in my deep fryer until crispy.

Lastly, the final plate.

You got that right...I don't understand they're only appetizers at the Mexican restaurant because I eat them as a meal when I make them at home! I make them way better too!
 
I completely agree Arthur, at our house, that's the meal! I swear my brother ate like 15 last time I made them. I was busy rolling and frying, and everytime my wife more over the table, the last ones were gone. I have no clue how he didn't burn out the inside of his face with them right out of the hot oil!
