Instructions
To prepare and eat immediately
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix together the filling ingredients in a large bowl until thoroughly combined
- Heat the tortillas in the microwave until soft and pliable, and keep warm (I use a tortilla warmer)
- Spoon filling down the middle of each tortilla and roll up tightly.
- Place seam-side down on a baking sheet and repeat with remaining filling/tortillas.
- Brush the taquitos with vegetable oil and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt.
- Bake 15-20 minutes, until crisp and golden.
- Devour.
To Freeze
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer and chill until taquitos are frozen.
- Transfer to a freezer safe zip top bag, and place back in the freezer.
To bake from frozen:
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
- Remove desired number of taquitos from the freezer and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until crisp and golden.
- Devour.
