Taquitos is a Mexican dish consisting of a small tortilla that is rolled around a filling of meat and cheese and then deep-fried.

Without fail, we are having tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas or taquitos one day during the week and the kids love them. I’m so grateful for that because I love these recipes too, and they’re usually really easy to make. Today, I wanted to share our favorite taquitos recipe –  Cream Cheese and Chicken taquitos.
