Coriander...it's great with dinner!

I do believe it is time to show the versatility of essential oils when it comes to cooking…are you all ready?

The essential oil that is used in today’s recipe is Coriander.  In and of itself, Coriander is an amazing oil.  We use it most often for digestive system support.  We have diluted it and rubbed it on feet and tummies…and taken it in a capsule internally.  We also cook with it as you will soon see.  In addition to digestive support, it may also be useful for emotional support.  I am thinking in our stress filled lives, a little coriander might make an awesome addition to our daily routines.

With a little understanding of corianders properties…let’s get to the cooking!

In a quest to find a use for leftover pot roast, I came across the most amazing, and simple recipe for Taquitos!  You can see the original here… Beef Taquitos by Haute Apple Pie  I altered it slightly to make it gluten and soy free and to show how I used the essential oil rather than a dry or fresh herb, but the original is also amazing just the way it is.

Beef Taquitos

3 cups cooked and shredded Pot Roast, chopped into small pieces
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp cumin
½ drop coriander essential oil
1 tsp chili powder
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella or pepper jack cheese
6 inch corn tortillas, about 15 or 20

Combine leftover beef roast with the herbs, oils, spices and lime juice.  Mix in cheese until evenly distributed.

Place about ¼ cup of the mixture down the center of your tortilla.  Roll up and place seam side down on a baking sheet.  Mist with cooking spray or brush with olive oil and then sprinkle with kosher salt.

Bake at 425 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown the filling is hot.

These also freeze very well.  Simply place taquitos in a freezer bag before misting with spray and baking.  When you would like to make them, just pull them out of the freezer mist with spray or brush with olive oil, salt and bake.   You might need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time, but the will come out of the oven incredibly delicious.
