Corn tortillas rolled with ground beef, refried beans, and cheese for an easy baked taquito.
I made these ground beef taquitos for a guest post on Real Women Talk 2. I love supporting fellow female Entrepreneurs! Cinco de Mayo is a great time to explore Mexican culture and cuisine regardless of your background or ethnicity. Whether you throw a big Fiesta or a little party with your family, it's sure to be a fun time!
These Baked Ground Beef Taquitos are perfect for a party because they're filling and can be eaten with your hands. I also chose to bake the taquitos because you can bake a big batch of these all at once. Frying them will result in a crunchier taquito, but you'll have to do it in batches. Not to mention there is more cleanup with frying food, but I'll let you decide which way to make them 🙂
Tips for Baking the Taquitos:
-Before you start rolling your taquitos, place tortillas individually in the oven while it's preheating for a few minutes until they become soft. Or you can place them in a stack of 5 in the microwave between 2 damp paper towels for about 20 seconds. Warming the tortillas will make them easier to roll.
-Use a pastry brush and oil or cooking oil spray, and make sure the taquitos are evenly coated in oil. If they start breaking while baking, add more oil.
-Bake them in a stoneware dish, these conduct heat more evenly.
-You can keep the taquitos warm in the oven at 250 degrees and cover with foil.
Serve the taquitos alongside some guacamole, salsa, sour cream, or shredded lettuce and tomatoes. To serve at a party have a few out and keep the remainder warm in the oven covered with foil. How cute is this confetti?

Baked Ground Beef Taquitos
Corn tortillas rolled with ground beef, refried beans, and cheese for an easy baked taquito.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef
- 1 Packet Low Sodium Taco Seasoning
- 1 Can Refried Beans
- 1 Cup Mexican Shredded Cheese Blend
- 18 Corn Tortillas
- Cooking Oil Spray or Oil with a Brush
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place tortillas in a single layer on oven racks and allow to warm while the oven is preheating. You want them to be warm and soft. Grease a large stoneware dish with oil or use a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Brown Ground beef in a skillet, add taco seasoning and water.
- Set up a station with the refried beans, ground beef, and cheese. Spread an even layer of beans on the tortilla, this will act as the glue. Then place a spoon of ground beef, and top with shredded cheese. Roll tightly and place seam side down onto the baking dish.
- Have a little space between each taquito. Once they are all rolled, spray an even layer of cooking oil spray or brush oil on each taquito. Bake for 15-20 minutes until they are slightly brown and crispy. If the taquitos start breaking while baking, add more oil.
Notes
You can keep the taquitos warm in the oven at 250 degrees and cover with foil.
