Filled corn tortillas, rolled around taco-seasoned beef and cheese, then coated in a seasoned crispy shell, make up these frozen taquitos. The Extra Crunchy line from El Monterey uses a thicker, more heavily seasoned exterior than the brand’s standard taquitos, so the texture starts firm before the filling heats through. They’re sold in 18-count packs and cook from frozen in the oven or air fryer. Expect a compact, hand-held format with a crunchy shell, a soft beef-and-cheese center, and taco seasoning carried through both layers.
