Crispy rolled corn tortillas filled with seasoned chicken and melted cheese, these taquitos come in 20-count and 44-count packs. They’re built for the oven, air fryer, or microwave, where the tortilla tightens up and the filling warms through without much fuss. The corn shell brings a toasted, slightly sweet note, while the chicken and cheese mixture stays fairly simple and even. Within El Monterey’s frozen lineup, they sit in the snack and appetizer lane alongside other stuffed tortilla items. Taquitos are often called flautas in some regions, though the tortilla type can vary. Here, the format is compact, hand-held, and ready to eat with salsa, guacamole, or rice and beans.
