I made these today, pretty much an improvisation. I was amazed how quickly these crispy taquitos disappeared 🙂 I did not expect they will be so delicious. Will certainly make more some time this week.
Preparation is super simple. I just fried a pound of ground turkey. I am sure any ground meat will work. However, beef may take longer to cook. Chicken and Turkey are best for quicker meals.
