These beef taquitos are so much better than you can buy in the store. They are so crispy and flavorful. Once you’ve had these, you’ll never buy frozen again.
For beef filling add oil to a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, and jalapeno. Cook for a few minutes until veggies soften. Then add beef and seasonings and continue to cook until beef is cooked through, about 8 minutes.
Stir in cilantro and Cotija cheese and remove from heat.
To make the taquitos add 1/4 cup of neutral oil to a small skillet over medium heat. Add one corn tortilla to the pan and cook for 5 seconds per side. Remove from pan and lay on a clean surface.
Spoon two tablespoons of filling into the center of the tortilla and roll it into a tight cylinder. Place rolled taquito on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all taquitos are made.
Bake taquitos for 20-30 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until they are crispy on the outside.
Serve taquitos immediately with sour cream, salsa, and guacamole. Leftover taquitos can be reheated in the oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
