Excellent recipe. Careful when you fry them, the grease pops a good bit.

This was a good recipe for taquitos and for a beginner i thought it was preaty easy. the taste was good, but the dish was overall kind of heavy.

Finally!!! I searched and searched for a recipe for beef taquitos and ta da!! Here it is! Well, istead of using cumin, I used a taco seasoning packet and I'm not really a fan of green chili's so I used enchilada sauce instead there. They turned out absolutely fantastic....More than likely I'll make this again.

I made these as written. The taste I found to be pretty bland and HAD to eat them with salsa and sour cream, which led them to taste pretty much like eating salsa and sour cream. I also found them a bit difficult to make. I tried rolling them different ways and putting them in the pan different ways, but they all ended up unrolling on me and the filling would fall out. Overall, they were ok, but I don't think I'll be making them again.

You can also use flour tortillas. Just wrap them up and fry or put in the oven for a healthy verson.
