What are Taquitos?

Taquitos, also known as rolled tacos, are a dish originating from Mexico that usually consists of rolled up tortillas stuffed with a filling that’s typically made with cheese and beef or chicken.

Since most traditional taco and taquito recipes use tortillas and other carb heavy items that are decidedly non-keto, most keto-friendly versions will use some type of low carb alternative for the taco shell (a great example is how this particular recipe uses baked cheese to make the shell).
