Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef lean
- 1 packet taco seasoning (2 TBSP homemade)
- ¼ cup salsa
- 2-3 tablespoons water as needed
- 10 string cheese sticks
- 10 tortilla soft, taco-sized
- olive oil spray form
- chili powder for garnish
- sour cream for serving
- salsa for serving
- guacamole for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cook ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 8 minutes. Break up the meat as it cooks. Mix in taco seasoning, salsa, and water. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Place a string cheese in the middle of a tortilla and add about 3 tablespoons of taco meat. Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up from one end to the other to make a log shape. Place on a baking sheet seam side down and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Spray the taquitos with olive oil spray and sprinkle with chili powder.
- Bake for 15 minutes on the top rack. (see note)
- Remove from the oven and serve warm with guacamole, sour cream, and/or salsa for dipping.

Notes
- If your taquitos aren't browned enough for your liking after 15 minutes, you can turn the oven to 425 degrees F and let them brown for another 5 minutes while the oven heats up. This gives the taquitos a crispy golden outside.
