Crispy, cheesy taquitos filled with seasoned ground beef, cream cheese, sour cream, and melted cheddar-style cheese—perfect for game day, weeknight dinners, or casual parties.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: makes about 8 taquitos or 4 servings

Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef (about 90–93% lean)

1 package taco seasoning (or homemade equivalent)

4 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup sour cream

1 cup shredded pepper jack or cheddar‑jack cheese

½ cup red salsa

8 flour tortillas (about 6-inch)

Cooking spray or a bit of oil for brushing 

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or 9×13 pan with cooking spray.

In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned and crumbly; sprinkle taco seasoning and stir to coat.

Turn off heat, add shredded cheese and stir until melted through.

Stir in cream cheese, sour cream, and salsa until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat.

Warm tortillas briefly (e.g. microwave 10–15 seconds) to make them pliable. Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of beef mixture in a line along one side of each tortilla.

Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam‑side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Spray tops lightly with cooking oil or spray. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until golden and crispy.

Let cool slightly, then serve warm with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, pico de gallo, cilantro, or lime wedges as desired.
