Saturday’s match-up between Memphis and Ole Miss is shaping up to be one of the biggest games of the season!

Whether you’re tailgating at Tiger Lane, or throwing a watch party at home, you’re going to need a winning game-day spread.

Tom and Jill Flournoy from Tom’s Tiny Kitchen stopped by to give us a few ideas.

Pork Taquitos with Pimento Cheese Dipping Sauce

Total Prep Time: 30-35 minutes

Makes 24 taquitos

Ingredients:

24 corn tortillas – best quality available

1/2 pound carnitas or purchased pulled pork (without any sauce)

Juice of one lime

1 cup Tom’s Tiny Kitchen Chipotle Pimento Cheese

1/4 cup ranch dressing

1/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2: Mix pulled pork with lime juice. Set aside.

Step 3: Pour 1/4 cup oil in small skillet and put over medium heat.

Step 4: Place one tortilla at a time in the skillet for about 10 seconds per side. You want the tortilla to be coated in oil so it will be pliable enough to roll.

Step 5: Remove tortilla from the skillet and place on a plate.

Step 6: Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the pulled pork in the bottom 1/3 of the tortilla and roll up as tightly as you can. The tortilla will be hot so you may need to use tongs to help with this.

Step 7: Set prepared taquito, seam side down on a cookie sheet.

Step 8: Continue the above process for the remaining tortillas.

Step 9: Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 10: While taquitos are in the oven, stir together 1 cup Tom’s Tiny Kitchen Pimento Cheese and the 1/4 cup ranch dressing. More ranch dressing may be added if you desire a thinner consistency dipping sauce.

Step 11: Allow taquitos to cool at least 10 minutes. They may be served warm or at room temperature, with the dipping sauce on the side.
