Star Wars: Crispic
Today we have another contribution to #MaytheFork Star Wars month! Crispic is a recipe from Star Wars Galaxies that, let’s be honest, is pretty much just taquitos. But rather than its classic fried version, I decided to make a baked version that is still super delicious and just as easy to make (if not easier!)
Let’s go!
~Ingredients~
1 lb. Lean Ground Beef (look for beef with <10% fat content on the package)
1/2 Yellow Onion, diced
Taco Seasoning (I like to eyeball my own mixture of Salt, Black Pepper, Cumin, Paprika, Cayenne, Ground Chili Pepper, and Cilantro)
(Optional) Shredded Cheese of choice
Salsa or Hot Sauce of choice
Fresh Cilantro, for garnish
~1 dozen 6″ Tortillas
Olive Oil or Cooking Spray, as needed
Prep Time: 10 - 15 min. | Total Cook Time: ~15 min.
Makes: Up to 1 dozen, depending on Tortilla size
~Instructions~
Step 1.) Preheat the oven to 425°F. Brown the beef with the onions and taco seasoning, drain any grease, and set aside.
Step 2.) Prep the tortillas by either microwaving them with a damp paper towel, or set them in the oven to warm for 1 minute (this will ensure they are easier to roll and handle without tearing.) Place in a contained or covered on a plate to keep soft.
Step 3.) Take each tortilla and place a few spoonfuls of the beef onto it (and cheese, if you want cheese in it). Roll carefully but firmly (don’t overfill the tortilla or you may lose some of it!) and then place seam side down on a lightly greased baking sheet. Repeat for all of the tortillas until you run out filling.
Step 4.) Before placing them in the oven, either lightly brush each tortilla with some olive oil, or spray the tortillas lightly with cooking spray. Bake for about 15 min., the edges of the tortillas will be crispy and browned. Serve immediately or freeze for later. Top with cilantro and salsa of choice and enjoy!
~Results~
I mean, it’s really hard to go wrong with these, which is probably why they are so popular among the Star Wars cantinas.
