Keesha’s Tips & Tricks
- Go for Quality Taquitos: Cheaper brands can taste bland or fall apart. Spend a little more on a trusted brand. It makes all the difference.
- Use a Metal Baking Dish: It crisps the bottom better than glass. You’ll get that golden edge everyone loves.
- Broil for a Crisper Finish: If you like golden cheese and crisp edges, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, but watch closely!
