Description
Easy Pulled Beef Taquitos – Crispy & Flavorful! Perfect for snacks, parties, or a quick meal!
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked shredded beef (leftover roast or brisket works great)
- 8–10 small flour or corn tortillas
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil or cooking spray for brushing
- Optional: sour cream, salsa, guacamole for serving
Instructions
- Prep the Beef: In a bowl, mix shredded beef with cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in shredded cheese.
- Assemble Taquitos: Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Spoon a small amount of beef mixture along one edge and roll tightly.
- Bake or Air Fry: Place rolled taquitos seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Lightly brush or spray with oil. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and crispy. (Air fryer: 10–12 minutes at 375°F / 190°C, flipping halfway.)
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm with sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
Notes
- Pro Tip: For extra crispiness, lightly press the taquitos with a spatula halfway through baking.
