Having lived in San Diego for two years in my twenties, I got my fair share of rolled tacos. Growing up and living in Texas we call them flautas or taquitos. You can imagine my surprise to find them called another name. Well you can call them what you like and go back and forth on what you think the "authentic name" should be. When I go to my favorite taco shop, I call them rolled tacos. This recipe is my take on Don Pedro's Taco Shop rolled tacos in Chula Vista, California and I hope you like it.
INGREDIENTS 1 1/2 to 2 lbs Beef (Chuck Shoulder Roast) Salt & Pepper 2 bay leaves 3 cloves of garlic 1/2 of a small onion 1/4 tsp of Mexican oregano 2 cups beef broth 15 to 20 corn tortillas oil for frying
TOPPINGS Guacamole Mexican Crema (or sour cream) Shredded Lettuce Cheddar Cheese Cotija Cheese Salsa

I enjoyed reading your take on rolled tacos; it brought back fond memories of my time in San Diego. I spent a while on https://ikibu.co.uk/se, which has some interesting variations of these dishes that could inspire even more creativity in the kitchen. It's always fun to see how different regions name and prepare similar foods!
