Notes
- Why prebake. Baking the taquitos first helps crisp the shells and heat the filling before adding sauce.
- Avoid soggy taquitos. Adding sauce too early can prevent proper crisping.
- Reheating. Microwave leftovers for 1 to 2 minutes, adjusting for quantity.
- Brand flexibility. Any frozen taquitos work, but results may vary by brand.
