TAQUITO RECIPE-

In a bowl, add the cooked shredded meat, cream cheese, cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, and seasoning and mix until well combined.Add the mixture to the center of the corn tortillas and roll up tightly and place the edge at the bottom so it doesn’t unroll. (TIP: To keep the tortillas from unrolling you may use a toothpick to seal them closed, just don’t forget to remove the toothpicks before serving.)Repeat with the remaining taquitos.Cook the taquitos and serve over desired toppings!
