One of my favorite things to order at a Mexican restaurant is taquitos, just like these shredded beef taquitos. I love the contrast of the tender meat filling with crisp corn tortilla.
This filling for these taquitos only takes a few ingredients, but it is full of flavor. It all cooks in the slow cooker to produce a tender, flavorful beef filling. It is perfect when wrapped in that crisp crunchy corn tortilla.
Enjoy these topped with salsa and sour cream and eaten with a fork. Or eat them by hand dipped in guacamole. No matter how you eat them, you will love them.
