FAQs
How do you roll taquitos?
Lay tortilla flat and add about 2 tbsps of filling in a line down the center. Fold sides over filling, then tightly roll up tortilla enclosing the filling completely. Seal edge with a dab of water or egg wash. Roll point side down for crispiest texture.
What cheese is best for taquitos?
Shredded Mexican cheese blend, Monterey Jack, cheddar, and queso quesadilla are common options. Use a cheese that melts well. Stay away from crumbly or firm cheeses.
How do you keep taquitos crispy?
Frying them is key for the crispy exterior. Let oil preheat well before frying. Don’t overload oil or it will cool down too much. Drain well after frying. Keep warm in a 200F oven on a rack until ready to serve. They will stay crispy for 30-60 mins.
Other tips: Use corn tortillas for crispiest texture. Let filling cool before rolling for best results. Brush with oil or egg wash to help crisp and brown. Serve with salsa, guacamole, sour cream for dipping!
