Do ya’ll like Mexican fare? It is my favorite kind of food these days, and it’s not just because of the delicious margaritas (they sure do help though). I can’t seem to get enough of guacamole – I’m addicted. I make it, eat it, crave it…and the cycle starts all over again. Enchiladas, tacos, fajitas etc. are dinner staples around these parts.

These taquitos were a little accidental, to be honest. I intended on making enchiladas, but I ran out of ingredients so at the last minute I made a few changes and called them taquitos instead. It was a delicious accident. They are sweet, tangy and creamy on the inside, and crispy and cheesy on the outside. And unlike normal taquitos, these guys aren’t fried. Much healthier. Perfect.

    YUM! We seriously eat Mexican once a week; it’s our absolute favorite! We make a similar baked taquito, but I never thought of adding in honey–sounds fabulous! I’ll definitely add this version in on our weekly rotation! Thanks for sharing. =)
