FAUX TAQUITOS OR FAUX TAMALES

Use corn tortillas to wrap the filling, then either microwave, fry, or bake either recipe. You will use more filling to make a Faux Tamale than you would Faux Taquitos.

For the filling, use Refried Beans, (cooked pinto beans that have been mashed with a fork, thick and smooth,) mixed with enough Beef Flavor Enhancers or powdered bouillon to make them taste like beef, adding any seasonings you choose to use. Spread it evenly over the corn tortillas. Roll up in a thin roll. Microwave until heated through for a minute, or fry the Faux Taquitos in hot vegetable oil. Drain off excess oil on white paper towels. Serve with Guacamole Dip or sliced avocadoes, a Torani sugar-free watermelon drink, and a fruit cup.

Place the thicker filled Faux Tamales rolled up in a baking dish. Pour Enchilada Sauce over them. Bake at 350 degrees until heated through, about 20 minutes. Serve with Spanish Rice and a Torani sugar-free Watermelon drink with a fruit cup for dessert.

Any special seasonings you enjoy can be added to the filling to suit your tastes. I did not list any amounts because this recipe needs to be made to suit your own needs and tastes. When experimenting with spices and seasonings, always remember to add just a bit, mix well, then taste it. You can always add more if needed, but if you add too much it will just go in the trash and be wasted money.
