Easy Cheesy Birria Taquitos
Crispy on the outside and filled with juicy shreddd beef birria. These easy cheesy birria taquitos are sure to be a hit. All made in less than 30 minutes with this Trader Joe’s hack!
Servings: 6 Taquitos
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef birria Trader Joe’s
- 6 slices mozzarella cheese
- 6 corn tortillas
- Onion diced, for garnish
- Tomato diced, for garnish
- Cilantro for garnish
- Oil for frying
- crema for garnish
Instructions
- Cook birria according to packaging. I’m using the beef birria from Trader Joe’s.
- Once cooked removed meat from sauce, shred and set aside.
- Wrap 6 corn tortillas in a dampened paper towel and microwave for 10-15 seconds. This will help make them pliable to avoid breaking when rolling them up.
- Lay down one corn tortilla and top with a slice of mozzarella cheese.
- Then add a few tablespoons of the shredded birria meat.
- Roll the corn tortilla while making sure to tightly tuck the ingredients inside.
- Add some oil to a frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot add the taquitos seam side down.
- By doing so this will seal them so you won’t need to use a toothpick or wrap to keep them together.
- Cook on all sides until golden brown and crispy. This should take 3-4 minutes.
- Remember we just want to crisp the outside, melt the cheese and warm the birria meat.
- Once golden and crispy, place on a wire rack to cool off some.
- Plate and top with crema, diced onion, diced tomato and cilantro.
- Serve with a side of consomé (the sauce it cooked in) and enjoy!
