Shredded chicken, cheese, onion, chile garlic cumin powders, salt
pepper, and Morton's "Nature Seasoning"(*). Rolled up in corn AND
wheat flour tortillas (perfect for these - not too hard and still
crunch) and partially frozen to make the seams set. Fry until
crispy.

Served on a bed of lettuce (don't ask me why) with avocado,
pickled carrot and jalapeno, cucumber slices, sour cream, and
Herdez roasted red salsa (one of the top 5 bottled or canned
Mexican salsas in the world).

Cost to make 24 extra-large taquitos was $.42/ea (whole 5lb
chicken, cheese, onion, spices, electricity to roast chicken,
cooking oil, natural gas to heat oil).

Half avocado = $.34.
Pickled stuff + cucumber + wilted lettuce $.40.
Salsa + sour cream + sriracha = $.54

$2.59

At a restaurant with hourly pay + health benefits + SS +
Medicare/MediCAL + Workers Comp insurance + State Unemployment Tax
+ liability insurance + FUTA + FLMA + PTO + a side of frijoles

$12.95

I've had beef taquitos, but my plate did not have avocado and mine
was consumed in a restaurant.

Wow?

Are you implying that taquitos or flautas are ... what? Exotic?

Not if you live in Texass.

I don't think I've ever had taquitos or flautas, and I certainly
wouldn't make them at home. I've seen them on menus and passed
them by for other dishes.

Then again, I don't think I've been in a "Mexican" restaurant
in more than a decade. If I had to guess, I think the last thing
I ordered was tacos al pastor with diced onion and cilantro. Or
it might have been carnitas.

You'd have to drive in to Ypsilanti. They don't allow Mexicans
in Ann Arbor after sundown.

Mexican restaurants are inherently boring. And the taquitos and
flautas are always the last thing I'd order anymore due to value
and taste. Most supermarket or restaurant taquitos and flautas
are 1/4 filling and 2/3rds hard, stale, greasy tortilla. And the
other 1/12th is pure nyeh.

I was determined to make them GOOD, and I succeeded for the most
part.

You forgot to make a follow up (*) ... was that a test? ;)

I shouldn't look at your photos when I'm hungry... darn it, now I'm
further hungry.

It's not a footnote reference when there's no footnote. That's a
pair of butt cheeks with a sphincter in the middle. It means I'm
talking out of my ass (usually lying). Specifically: The
"Morton's Nature Seasoning".

Having seemed to and having implied reading the last 8-10 years
worth of posts here, you should have known that.

Doesn't he? So does David. David once presented a dead baby octopus, that
I didn't want to try, on top of something else that I would.

I saw those posts, but I thought that you forgot a footnote.
