Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 22.5 ounces box frozen beef & cheese taquitos
- 10 ounces can enchilada sauce
- 4 ounces can mild diced green chilis
- 8 ounces block Colby Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and spray a 9×13 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Arrange Taquitos: Place the frozen beef and cheese taquitos in a single layer inside the prepared baking dish, ensuring even coverage.
- Add Sauces: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the taquitos, then sprinkle the diced green chilis on top to add a mild spiciness and extra flavor.
- Top with Cheese and Bake: Generously cover the entire dish with the shredded Colby Jack cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
- Rest and Garnish: Remove from the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes for flavors to meld and cheese to set. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute the beef and cheese taquitos with your preferred flavor or vegetarian option to tailor it to your taste.
- For extra heat, add diced jalapeños or hot enchilada sauce instead of mild green chilis.
- Serve with sides like sour cream, guacamole, or Mexican rice for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Ensure to thaw taquitos slightly if your oven requires it, although cooking from frozen works well in this recipe.
