Beef Taquitos Recipe

Beef Taquitos Recipe

Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 15 minutes
Total: 25 minutes

Ingredients

For the Cheese Shells

  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese shredded
  • 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese shredded
  • ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated

For the Beef Filling

  • ½ lb Ground Beef
  • ¼ cup Onion minced
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Cumin
  • ½ teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
  • Mix the cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan together.
  • Place 2-tablespoon portions of the cheese mixture onto the lined baking sheet, forming small circles (about 4 inches wide).
  • Bake for 5-7 minutes until the edges are bubbly and golden.
  • Let cool for 1 minute until they are flexible but not too firm.
  • While the cheese shells bake, heat a pan over medium heat.
  • Add ground beef, garlic, and minced onion, cooking until the beef is browned and the onions are soft.
  • Stir in chili flakes, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and salt.
  • Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the beef mixture onto each melted cheese round.
  • Carefully roll each one into a taquito shape, seam side down.
  • Let them set for a few minutes to hold their shape.
  • Serve warm with sour cream, guacamole, or a low-carb salsa for dipping. I served mine with a couple of chopped cherry tomatoes, green onions, and fresh cilantro which is my favorite!
