Tips<\/h1>\n

Beef chuck roast gives the juiciest, most authentic filling.<\/p>\n

Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking.<\/p>\n

Fry in small batches so the oil temperature stays consistent.<\/p>\n

Let the taquitos rest for 2\u20133 minutes after frying to stay crispy.<\/p>\n

For restaurant-quality flavor, spoon a little of the reduced braising juices into the shredded beef before rolling.<\/p>\n

These taquitos freeze well before frying\u2014simply thaw slightly and fry until golden when ready to serve.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
