What is a Taquito?

Taquito is a delicious and crunchy snack that is fried or baked with some filling. It just looks like a rolled-up taco. In these taquitos, you can use any filling like, chicken, beef, corn, black beans, jalapeno, Monterey jack cheese, refried beans, or chorizo with some seasoning.

You can make them very quickly within a few minutes and even you can store them and eat them when you crave them. But while storing just store the filling seperately and the tortillas seperately.
