Shredded Beef Taquitos are simple and flavorful. The crunch of the corn tortilla against the perfectly shredded beef and melted cheese is a winning combination!
Shredded Beef Taquitos will win over teenage boys and everyone else that eats like they are a teenage boy. (ME!) True story: I usually finish my husband’s leftovers, not the other way around. Unless we are having these taquitos, then he won’t leave a crumb on his plate! These taquitos are SO easy to customize to your liking too. #winning.
The meat I use is my basic Shredded Beef recipe. The meat is already extremely flavorful so I tend to leave it alone. If you’d like, you could totally season the meat with taco or fajita seasoning! I wrap the meat and some shredded cheese up in a small corn tortilla. Corn tortillas can be a little tricky, I find that they work best when they are very warm and moist. I usually wet some paper towesl and heat a few tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds sandwiched between two paper towels. That usually gets them more pliable. I fry them up quickly in some oil on stovetop then serve them with some sour cream and salsa! Delish!
