Equipment

Ingredients

4 burrito-size flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
Cooking spray
Taco seasoning of choice about 1-2 teaspoons
1/3 cup sour cream or yogurt
1-2 teaspoons hot sauce of choice

Suggested Toppings

Salsa or picante sauce
Fresh cilantro leaves
Diced avocado
Chopped green onions

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Slice off the rounded sides of each burrito, making four 8x8-inch squares (it doesn't have to be exact). Quarter each square, making 4 smaller squares, about 4x4-inches each.
Arrange the squares on the prepared pan in a single layer (use 2 pans if needed). Top the squares with the cheese, about 2 tablespoons per square. Transfer pan to the oven and bake for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
While the tortillas are still warm, roll up tightly and return the rolls to the baking sheet.
Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Spray the taquitos with cooking spray and season with the taco seasoning.
Transfer the taquitos to the oven and bake for 7 to 10 minutes, until the tortillas just start to turn golden brown.
Meanwhile, whisk together the sour cream and hot sauce. Transfer the taquitos to a serving plate and drizzle the sour cream mixture over top. Top with desired toppings.
