Delicious crispy taquitos filled with savory ground beef and cheese, perfect for a quick meal or snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 oz. taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 oz. cream cheese (½ brick)
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup salsa (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup freshly shredded pepper jack cheese (or Monterey Jack or Mexican cheese blend for less spice)
- 8 tortillas (corn or flour)
- salsa (for serving)
- guacamole (for serving)
- sour cream (for serving)
- shredded cheese (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking pan or jellyroll pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large pan set over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink.
- Add the taco seasoning and stir to combine.
- Mix in the cream cheese until melted and hot.
- Stir in the sour cream and salsa.
- Remove the pan from the stove. Add the cheese and mix until melted and well combined.
- Microwave the tortillas for 10 seconds to soften.
- Assemble the taquitos. Place a tortilla on a clean work surface. Add a scoop of the beef filling on one side of the tortilla. Roll up the tortilla and place seam-side down in the pan. Repeat until all tortillas are filled and assembled.
- Bake for about 15 minutes until crispy. Serve with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
Notes
- For a milder flavor, use Monterey Jack cheese instead of pepper jack.
- Make sure to soften the tortillas before filling to prevent tearing.
