They are filled with seasoned ground beef and melted cheese, rolled into tortillas, and baked until golden and crunchy. If you need simple food ideas, dinner ideas, or a family-friendly meal with big flavor and very little fuss, this crispy baked taquitos recipe is always a good one to keep on hand.


Ingredients

1 pound ground beef

1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons taco seasoning

1/3 cup tomato sauce

1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

10 small corn tortillas

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup sour cream, for serving

1/2 cup salsa, for serving

1/2 cup diced tomatoes, for serving


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft.

3. Stir in the garlic, taco seasoning, tomato sauce, salt, and black pepper, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture is thickened.

4. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the beef mixture cool slightly.

5. Warm the tortillas so they are soft and easy to roll without cracking.

6. Spoon some beef filling onto each tortilla and top with shredded cheddar cheese.

7. Roll each tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

8. Brush or lightly spray the taquitos with olive oil.

9. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crisp.

10. Serve hot with chopped cilantro, sour cream, salsa, and diced tomatoes.

Notes

Do not overfill the tortillas, or they can split open while baking and lose that crisp rolled shape.
