Equipment
Ingredients
- 18 frozen taquitos
- 1 can (10 oz) red or green enchilada sauce
- 1 bag (8 oz) shredded Mexican blend cheese (or any variety cheese)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425℉. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Arrange the frozen taquitos in a single layer in the baking dish. I can fit about 18 of them, but depending on the shape of the dish you're using, you may need slightly less.*Make sure to fill the bottom of the casserole dish in an even layer of taquitos. I like to also put some on the sides so I can get more taquitos inside the casserole pan.18 frozen taquitos
- Pour the can of enchilada sauce over top the taquitos.1 can (10 oz) red or green enchilada sauce
- Add the shredded cheese on top of the enchilada sauce.1 bag (8 oz) shredded Mexican blend cheese
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted & golden brown and the taquitos are heated through.
- Serve with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, chopped tomatoes, pico de gallo, guacamole, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, drizzle of queso sauce, etc.
Notes
Spice? : Add diced jalapeños (fresh or canned) to the top of the taquitos, either before or after baking. You could also add a little jalapeño juice from the can into the enchilada sauce to intensify the heat and jalapeño flavor in the dish. Add a can of diced green chilies over top the enchilada sauce before you add the cheese. Use shredded pepper jack cheese, add a dash of hot sauce, or try using a spicy enchilada sauce.
Variations : Use red or green enchilada sauce, or try using a warmed queso cheese dip for cheesy enchiladas with some spice, you can also use any variety of frozen taquitos that you want (chicken, beef, cheese, southwestern, etc).
