Ingredients
Filling
- 2 cups cooked corned beef, chopped
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1/2 cup sauerkraut, drained thoroughly
- 1/4 cup Thousand Island dressing
Wraps and Finishing
- 8 small tortillas (corn or flour, as preferred)
- Cooking spray or oil, for brushing
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to prepare for baking the taquitos to a crispy golden finish.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped cooked corned beef, shredded Swiss cheese, drained sauerkraut, and Thousand Island dressing until evenly mixed.
- Assemble Taquitos: Spoon an even amount of the filling mixture onto each tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly, ensuring the filling is enclosed. Place each rolled taquito seam-side down on a baking sheet to prevent unrolling.
- Apply Oil Spray: Lightly spray the tops of the taquitos with cooking spray or brush them with a thin layer of oil. This step will help them achieve a crisp, golden texture while baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. About halfway through the baking time, flip the taquitos to ensure even crispiness and browning on all sides.
- Serve: Once baked to a crispy golden brown, remove the taquitos from the oven. Serve warm with extra Thousand Island dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Make sure to drain the sauerkraut very well to avoid soggy taquitos.
- Use either corn or flour tortillas depending on your preference or dietary needs.
- Flipping the taquitos halfway through baking ensures even crispiness on both sides.
- For an extra crispy finish, you can brush the taquitos with a little more oil before the final 5 minutes of baking.
