Filling Ingredients
  • 2 cups shredded cooked beef
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Taquito Assembly
  • 12 pieces corn tortillas Warm tortillas to prevent cracking.
  • 2 tablespoons oil For brushing on taquitos.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and lightly brush or coat a glass baking dish or sheet pan with a little oil.
  2. Warm the corn tortillas until pliable, either in the microwave for 30 to 45 seconds or heated in a skillet.
  3. Divide the shredded beef and Monterey Jack cheese among the tortillas, placing the filling in a line across each tortilla.
  4. Roll the tortillas up tightly and set them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Brush the tops of the rolled taquitos with the remaining oil.
Baking
  1. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the taquitos are crisp and golden and the cheese is melted.
  2. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve taquitos with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. For added crunch, bake them a few extra minutes. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
