A taquito is like the best of both worlds when it comes to burritos and tacos; a small, crispy-fried wrapped tortilla filled with savory beef and cheese. Mmm, sounds good already. The Taquito Casserole seeks to make the most of them by making what could be an idle snack into a full-fledged meal! Now the taquitos sit upon a fluffy bed of Mexican-style rice infused with classic seasonings, rich enchilada sauce, and hearty beans. Then to make the cheesiness more complete, it's topped with even more cheese before taking a ride in the oven. The Taquito Casserole isn't the only way to enjoy taquitos. It's just the best way!
