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.
