Taquito

Taquitos, also commonly referred to as rolled tacos, are a popular Mexican dish consisting of a corn tortilla filled with various ingredients, including meats such as chicken or beef, cheese, and spices. The tortilla is then rolled tightly and either fried or baked until crispy. Served as snacks or appetizers, these bite-sized treats often come with a side of guacamole, salsa, or sour cream for dipping. Relished by countless home cooks and consumers, taquitos make for an easy-to-prepare and satisfying meal option. Paired with a fresh salad or other sides, they can be customized to suit various dietary preferences while providing rich, authentic Mexican flavors.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Taquito expire?
Store-bought taquitos generally have a printed 'best by' date which typically indicates they will last unopened in the freezer for about 1-2 months past this date. Once opened, they should be consumed within 7 days if refrigerated. Homemade taquitos can last up to 2-3 days in the refrigerator. If you choose to freeze homemade taquitos, they can last up to 1-2 months.
How do you tell if Taquito is bad?
A clear indication that taquitos have gone bad is if they develop an off smell or if they are discolored. If there is any mold growth, this is also a clear sign they are no longer good to eat. As with many foods, a change in texture can also be a sign - if your taquito has become excessively soggy or conversely, too tough and dry, it may be time to toss it.
Tips for storing Taquito to extend shelf life
• Store taquitos in a refrigerator set to 40°F or below in a sealed container to avoid drying out. • If you want to freeze taquitos, wrap each one individually in a freezer safe bag or wrap before placing them in a larger freeze-safe container. This will help to maintain quality and prevent freezer burn. • Defrost frozen taquitos safely in the fridge overnight instead of using a countertop or microwave for best texture and safety. • You can also re-crisp defrosted taquitos in the oven by heating them at 375°F for approximately 10 minutes.
