Notes

Wake up the flavors – To bring in much more flavor, add kosher salt and black pepper, and other great seasonings. Suggested are cumin, onion powder, chili powder, or ranch seasoning.

Serve with Dip – Taquitos taste the best when served with a dipping sauce. Try ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing. Taquitos also thrive with sour cream, avocado cream sauce, and additional hot sauce.

Change up the protein – While this recipe is specifically about chicken taquitos, the filling can be made with any sort of cooked protein including ground beef, ground chicken, or shredded or ground pork.
