Food and Drink Pairings

Pair your Spicy Beef Taquitos with:

• Sides: Cilantro-lime rice, black beans, or Mexican street corn (elote)

• Drinks: Classic margaritas, horchata, Mexican lager (like Modelo or Pacifico), or a sparkling lime agua fresca

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef?
A: Absolutely! Both work well and offer a lighter alternative. You may want to boost the seasoning to match the richness of beef.

Q: Are these taquitos spicy?
A: Yes, but the heat level is adjustable. Reduce or omit jalapeños and chili powder for a milder version.

Q: What kind of tortillas work best?
A: Either corn or flour tortillas can be used. Corn tortillas offer a more traditional flavor and texture but are slightly trickier to roll.

Q: Can I bake these instead of frying?
A: Yes! Just brush the taquitos lightly with oil and bake at 400°F until golden and crispy.

Q: Can I make them ahead?
A: Definitely. Assemble ahead of time and freeze, or refrigerate rolled taquitos up to 24 hours before cooking.
