Lazy Enchiladas With Taquitos (Viral TikTok Recipe)
These lazy enchiladas with taquitos are going viral on TikTok, and for good reason. This 30 minute meal is quick, easy, and absolutely delicious. Give them a try when you need a change on taco Tuesday, or any other night you need an easy supper that tastes great!
Ingredients
- 1 28 oz box frozen taquitos
- 1 28 oz can green (or red) enchilada sauce
- 2 cups shredded Monterrey jack cheese can substitute pepper jack as well
Instructions
- Bake enough taquitos to fill at 9x13" baking dish in an even layer on a baking sheet according to package directions. For me this was 16 minutes at 400°.
- Spray a 9x13" baking dish with nonstick spray, and add the baked taquitos to it arranging them in a single layer.
- Pour the enchilada sauce evenly out overtop of the taquitos, then top with the cheese in an even layer.
- Bake the dish another 10-12 minutes, again at 400°- broil if needed to crisp up the cheese.
- Remove the dish from the oven, then let it rest for 5-10 minutes.
- Serve & enjoy!
Notes
- To avoid extra dishes, you can bake the taquitos in the casserole dish instead of using a sheet pan and then transferring them. If first baking them on a sheet pan, use tongs to transfer them to the prepared casserole dish as they will be HOT.
- If you like extra crispy cheese, broil the dish (watching it carefully) just until the cheese is golden brown on top.
- Air frying these is also an option - place them in the basket and bake at 400F for 3-4 minutes.
