Sprinkle the taquitos with a bit of kosher salt, then bake for approximately 20 minutes. Just look for golden-brown and delicious.

As the liquid comes to a boil, cut the greenbeans up. Or not. It's your life. But add the greenbeans and a pinch of salt and let them simmer for about five minutes — if you like your beans on the softer side you can let it got a little longer. But the trick is to pull them right after the color starts to turn and you've just made a delicious addition to any taco.
