Tips:

  • Choose the right steak: Flank steak, skirt steak, or hanger steak are good choices for taquitos because they are flavorful and tender when cooked properly.
  • Tenderize the steak: To make the steak even more tender, you can marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, cumin, and chili powder for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Slice the steak thinly: This will help the steak cook evenly and quickly.
  • Season the steak: Before cooking, season the steak with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
  • Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the outside of the steak and keep the inside juicy.
  • Don't overcook the steak: Steak should be cooked to medium-rare or medium for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use good quality tortillas: Fresh, corn tortillas are the best choice for taquitos because they are pliable and won't crack when you roll them up.
  • Fill the tortillas generously: Don't be afraid to load up the tortillas with steak, cheese, and other fillings.
  • Cook the taquitos until they are crispy: This will help to seal in the fillings and prevent them from falling out.

Conclusion:

Steak taquitos are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. By following the tips above, you can make perfect steak taquitos every time.
