Easy Cheese Taquitos

If you are looking for a quick and easy, but also inexpensive lunch or dinner to try, these taquitos are perfect.

We love taquitos in our house, especially the cheese ones.
I will admit that I have been known to buy those boxes of taquitos in the freezer section of the grocery store. I know they are expensive and not very healthy, but they make a quick and easy, kid friendly meal.
The recipe contained a technique that I had not tried before. Baking the tortillas and cheese first, than adding the rest of the toppings. You then rolled them and put them back in the oven to crisp up.
Ok here Taquitos much healthier than the fried taquitos that I have tried in the past.

Here 2 recipes with corn tortilla and flour tortilla

Easy Cheese Taquitos (corn Tortila)

• 12 corn tortillas ( I used white corn)
• 1 cup shredded cheese ( We like to use cheddar or colby jack)
• salsa for serving

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. (Let the oven preheat all the way. A high heat is what makes these work so well.)
   Lay tortillas on two baking sheets in a single layer. Depending on your size of baking sheet, you may need to use 3 sheets.
   Sprinkle cheese on tortillas.
2. Bake for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is starting to melt and tortillas are softened.
3. Remove from oven and carefully roll each tortilla up. These are hot so be careful.
4. Return to oven and bake for 6-8 minutes or until crisp.
5. Serve with salsa.
