When I asked my family for some family favorite recipes, this is one of the recipes my aunt Marlene gave me. She said she couldn't take credit for it though, it was really one Laura had started making but everyone loved them! I was really excited to give them a try as Laura is quite the cook. They were delicious and much easier to make than I had anticipated. They are so creamy cheesy and the flavor is great!
My little family was instantly in love with this recipe. My extended family didn't take long to follow suit. MiMi made them a few years ago for a girls night after she saw them here on the blog. Grandma joined us at that girls night and she made them after that! We all love them and make the frequently! Since this was originally posted long only a little over a month into my blogging adventure, I thought I should refresh the post and share it with you again. If you haven't made them yet, do yourself a favor and give them a try!

This recipe sounds good, I think I could substitute my vegetarian chicken with the real chicken.

DeleteCarlee, I LOVE tacquitos and these sound really good. Really, really good! Thanks for bringing this by to Throwback Thursday! I'll be pinning to our board.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I keep thinking I need to do some variations on this, but every time we make taquitos we end up doing them this way because we know we love them!
DeleteI am so guilty of the same thing - and it's the same at a restaurant for me, too. Once I order something I like I rarely order something else...
DeleteIt's hard to go away from something you know is going to be good!
DeleteI'll take creamy and cheesy any day! They look delicious! Wishing you a fabulous Memorial Day sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteMe too!! Thanks, Andrea, and the same to you!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Jas! They are really good and so much fun!
DeleteOh I love taquitos! These look SO good--I love that the filling is creamy! Have a great day Carlee!
ReplyDeleteCreamy and cheesy are two of my favorite descriptors, so when you get to use them together to describe a taquito you know it has to be good!
DeleteMy kids love taquitos. I think I need to start making my own! Thank you for sharing on Merry Monday! Have a great week!
