Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a large skillet, saute the sausage over medium heat until browned - about 6 minutes (I like to break it apart into smaller pieces while it's cooking).
- Drain 1/4 cup of oil from the cooked sausage.
- Set sausage aside to cool.
- Stir salsa and cheese into the skillet of sausage, mix well.
- Place a tortilla on a work surface and spoon 1/4 cup of the sausage mixture down the center.
- Fold tortilla in half, then roll up.
- Secure with toothpicks.
- Place on foil-lined cookie sheet.
- Repeat until all sausage/tortillas are gone.
- **You can prepare ahead until this point, and keep in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake**.
- Bake, turning them halfway through cooking time so you get even browning, until filling is hot and tortilla is crisp and golden brown - about 18 minutes. **Check them at least 5 minutes early - mine were done quicker than 18 minute last time.**.
- Cut taquitos in half, crosswise.
- Serve hot with your choice of condiments!
