Hi All, I am still shopping around for new gas range. :(
The problem is that we need to actually yank out our old (drop in) range to get a more accurate measurement. Right now all the stoves I'm likin' are about a 1/4" too wide! :( And once we pull out our old one...I'm not sure if we will (re-hook up the gas?) That would mean I wouldn't be able to use the top burners like I have been.
Speaking of top burners. I made a taquito salad the other night....and since I couldn't bake the Taquitos in the oven, I did them in a fry pan. I had a little difficulty...but if you want to see my salad ---you can check it out behind the cut.
You can use any toppings you like. I wish I would have had some black olives :( The taquitos add that "corn chipee" taste and you can use a combination of chicken or beef taquitos. Its very fast and super yummy.
Have a great day.
Love the snoopy Christmas napkins, as they add a nice touch. Looks yummy! Hope you get your replacement oven soon.

Great! I hope you do try it Sheila.
Posted by: Lo** on April 7, 2005 11:10 AMWhen your oven gets going again, you might try my favorite way to use those frozen taquitos: mock enchiladas! (This might even work in a microwave.)
Place several taquitos in a pyrex baking dish, cover with your favorite enchilada sauce (I like the canned verde sauce), cover with a layer of shredded cheese. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling. Garnish with all the likely suspects! YUM.

Posted by: Lo** on April 7, 2005 01:23 PMVery healthy and south of the bordery....and yes, I like my taquitos burnt thank you. ;0)(I'm a charco-holic
I hope you don't have to go with electric burners. My vote is for 'gas' if you manage it.

Posted by: erikie parikie on April 7, 2005 04:51 PMHoly Moly! Not to be a party pooper, but not really knowing what Taquitos were, I did a search, and on the El Montery site I looked at the nutritional info... gulp. very, very bad...
'ho well, they sound so darn good!
:)
Well Kitty, 5 Taquitos (this brand at least) is 14 grams of fat. (Ya I know ---alot.) But if you go with lite cheese and fat free sour cream (and no avacado) its not to terribly bad.
Posted by: LO** on April 7, 2005 08:59 PMWe'll be up your way the next time you make them; this entire bunch is taquito crazy!
