BBQ Taquitos and a 7-Day Cruise Giveaway!
I’m so excited that school is finally out and 3rd grade is over for my son. It’s been a long, busy year full of so many accomplishments and adventures. We’re ready for a little break before 4th grade starts. This summer we’ll be taking several vacations to go camping, boating, a beach getaway and of course a cruise!
We’ll also be having family visit this summer, so that means lots of easy summer recipes. I love enjoying time with friends and family around the pool enjoying cocktails while we cook outside. Usually I fire up the grill, but sometimes I like to take the deep fryer to my outdoor kitchen and make things like these amazing little taquitos.
These little taquitos are super easy to make and such a crowd pleaser! They are inspired from our cruises that visit Mexico. Taquitos are my absolute favorite thing to order while in Mexico. I love the crunchy goodness and the flavorful meat. They are just too perfect for dipping too. To me they’re like meat filled crunchy nachos you can dip in your favorite salsa. So good!
To make these super easy and tasty, I start with Curly’s RoadTrip Eats BBQ. I heat some corn tortillas until they are nice and soft and then stuff them with a little BBQ meat, roll them up, secure with a toothpick and toss them in the deep fryer.
I really love all their flavors, but for these taquitos I used the West Coast IPA Style Pulled Pork. You can find Curly’s RoadTrip Eats in the refrigerated meat case of your local grocery store.
Using Curly’s RoadTrip Eats is a great time saver, and makes these taquitos so delicious. Everyone is sure to love them. It gives a great American spin on a classic favorite Mexican dish.
You can serve any type of sauce you’d like alongside of these. I prefer to drizzle them with a nice chipotle ranch that I make by combining ranch and chipotle peppers and adobo that have been combined in the food processor. Additionally, you can have bowls of guacamole, sour cream and fresh salsa for dipping.
Our biggest trip of this summer is a cruise, and we’re so excited! My family and I absolutely love cruises, we’ve been doing them for several years now. We’ve visited so many exotic and beautiful places and met the most amazing people. I find cruises are perfect for kids too because there are so many activities that are geared towards kids and teens too. It’s so much fun for the whole family.
Curly’s loves cruises too and is holding a sweepstakes for a chance to win a seven-day cruise for four!
