This recipe is from one of my Mom's good friends.
She was our neighbor for a while and taught us how to make these.
I really hope you try them, they are my family's favorite!

Ingredients:

Taquitos:
20 - 25 Corn Tortillas
1 can refried beans
Enough Vegetable Oil to fill a skillet halfway, to fry the taquitos

Avocado Salsa:
1 Avocado
7-8 Tomatillos
1 Jalepeno
Salt to taste

Other toppings:
Sour Cream
Queso Fresco cheese - will be located near other cheeses at your local grocer, grated
Lettuce, chopped

Directions:
1- Heat oil in skillet until hot enough to fry in.
2 - Take half of your corn tortillas and place them in the microwave.
Heat them for a full 45 seconds, or until they are too hot to handle.
This will make them pliable and easy to roll.
3 - Place a small strip of refried beans down the center of one of the tortillas.
Roll tightly and place fold down in the oil.
4 - Fry until crispy on one side, then flip and fry until crispy on the other side.
5- Drain on paper towel.
6 - Repeat with other tortillas and beans.

For the salsa:
1 - Take the skin off the Avacado and remove the pit, place in blender.
2 - Remove outer casing and wash each tomaltillo, place in blender.
3 - Cut top off of Jalepeno and remove seeds, {leave a few if you like it hot!}, place in blender.
4 - Add salt and small amout of water.
5 - Blend until smooth.

Plating:
Take a Taquito and top with sour cream, then Avocado Salsa, then cheese, then lettuce.
Enjoy!
