Description

Delicious and crispy beef taquitos, perfect for a quick meal or snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 oz. taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 oz. cream cheese
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup salsa (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup freshly shredded pepper jack cheese
  • 8 tortillas (corn or flour)
  • salsa
  • guacamole
  • sour cream
  • shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan or jellyroll pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  2. In a large pan set over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink.
  3. Add the taco seasoning and stir to combine.
  4. Mix in the cream cheese until melted and hot.
  5. Stir in the sour cream and salsa.
  6. Remove the pan from the stove. Add the cheese and mix until melted and well combined.
  7. Microwave the tortillas for 10 seconds to soften.
  8. Assemble the taquitos. Place a tortilla on a clean work surface. Add a scoop of the beef filling on one side of the tortilla. Roll up the tortilla and place seam-side down in the pan. Repeat until all tortillas are filled and assembled.
  9. Bake for about 15 minutes until crispy. Serve with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and shredded cheese.

Notes

  • For less spicy taquitos, opt for Monterey Jack or Mexican cheese blend.
