7-eleven Jalapeno and Cream Cheese Taquito Recipe
Parker Feierbach
You don't need an excuse to have a party to make taquitos. They make a great anytime meal and bring the party themselves. A taquito is essentially a rolled taco with many of the topping like quac and sour cream on the outside. They are also traditionally shallow fried to get that beautifully crisp exterior. Our version, however, is baked with an option to make them in the air fryer! The air fryer makes them even crispier in less time than baking! However you make them, be sure to load them up with homemade salsa and the avocado cream sauce.
We prefer corn tortillas for our taquitos, but if you like flour tortillas you can totally use them. They usually need a few extra minutes in the oven than corn tortillas do to get crispy!
