I don’t know what it is about taquitos…but I love them! Maybe it’s because it’s fun to say taquitos, or maybe because it’s finger food? I don’t know, but they make my tummy happy.
Of course I bake my taquitos instead of frying them. That saves a lot of points! I made chicken taquitos not too long ago and they were a huge hit with my family.
Last night I decided to make steak and cheese taquitos. Considering there weren’t any left I’d say it went over pretty well.
I served them with fat free sour cream & zero point salsa. I added one extra point for the sour cream.
One thing you want to make sure to do is to heat the corn tortillas in the microwave before adding the filling. It will make them much easier to work with.
It’s easy to double this recipe so that there are leftovers. These taquitos are great for lunch or dinner!
