Pork Taquitos

These are a favorite at our house. It's not one of our healthy meals so we don't have them a lot but we sure enjoy them when we do.

Ingredients 
1 pack pork stew meat
1/2 poblano chili diced
1/2 serrano chili diced
3 tbs diced yellow onion
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp cumin
2 tbs water
taco seasoning
couple of squirts lime juice
couple of hot sauce
6- 8 corn tortillas
canola oil

Toppings (optional)
fat free sour cream
hot sauces
guacamole
salsa
lime juice
cilantro
cheese
lettuce

toss the pork into a hot pan, sprayed with non stick spray. Toss in both types of chilis. sprinkle with garlic salt, cumin, and lime juice. Let pork cook thoroughly flipping periodically to cook evenly.

In a pot add a dollop of butter and saute onions till crispy.

When pork is cooked thoroughly take contents of that pan out to shred. Once shredded toss pork and chilis into the pot with the onions. Add water, taco seasoning and hot sauce. Mix together and let simmer for a minute. You don't want the mixture to be liquid we want a well seasoned meat that won't drench a tortilla.

Warm the tortillas up until they are pliable but won't tear easily. Warm up a pan with oil. Once the meat is seasoned then you take the tortillas and place the meat on them. Roll the meat in the tortillas and place in the hot oil. Let the tortillas brown on one side and flip them. Once they are almost completely browned, remove from pan  and place on a oven safe dish lined with paper towels. Sprinkle cheese over taquitos and place in a warm oven  (200 degrees F) to melt and stay warm while the other taquitos are cooking.

Serve taquitos over a bed of lettuce with fat free sour cream, lime juice, and hot sauce.
