Notes
Storage:
You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven for a few minutes until warmed through. Freezing leftovers works as well, we just can't guarantee the taquitos will be as fresh as they are when initially baked.Tips:
- Use any flavor taquitos you prefer. We are using chicken here, but beef or bean are also delicious.
- Add veggies if desired. You can saute up some peppers, onions, or corn with the beef as well for some extra vegetable action.
- Garnish with all different toppings. You can make a toppings bar for a party with sour cream, Greek yogurt, cilantro, salsa, scallions, the options are endless.
- Swap tortilla chips for Fritos. The lime tortilla chips or chili flavored tortilla chips are also so good.
- Be sure to cover with foil for baking. This ensures the taquitos cook through in the oven and that the cheese melts.
