1 large rabbit, seasoned and roasted
6 corn tortillas
1/2 pound shredded jack cheese
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
Tomatillo Salsa:
2 pounds tomatillo
1 cup olive oil

1 jalapeno pepper, minced
Juice of 1 lime
1 bunch cilantro
Cilantro sprigs
Sour cream
Directions
Pick rabbit meat and cut into julienne or shred. Toss with cheese, Tabasco and seasonings. Dip each tortilla in oil for 10 seconds. Place one-sixth of rabbit mixture on tortilla, roll up burrito style and secure with toothpick or fry taquitos close together to keep from opening. Fry to crispy and reserve. For salsa, toss olive oil and tomatillo, and roast at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool and dice coarsely. Add yellow onion, jalapeno and cilantro and finish with lime juice. Place a pool of salsa on bottom of plate and lay taquito in center. Add a dollop of sour cream and cilantro sprig.
