Oriental Beef Taquitos - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    12 -15 corn tortillas (blanched in oil to soften)
    1 lb ground beef
    1 egg
    1/4 teaspoon Accent seasoning (optional)
    2 green onions, thinly sliced
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon pepper
    oil (for frying)
    salt (for seasoning after frying)
Preparation
    Combine ground beef, egg, Accent, green onions, soy sauce, salt and pepper.
    Place some of meat mixture down the middle of a corn tortilla; how much will depend on the size of the tortillas and how big you want them to turn out. Roll up into a cylinder shape (you may want to place a toothpick through the taquito to keep it from unrolling when you fry it).
    Repeat until all of the meat mixture is gone.
    Heat oil to 350\u00b0F.
    Drop taquitos in a few at a time (don't overcrowd your pan). Fry until tortilla is golden and meat is cooked through (about 2 minutes).
    Place on paper towels to drain and sprinkle with salt.
    Serve while hot.
