- Make the guacamole - click here for the recipe.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees on a convection setting if you have it. Line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire cooling rack on the baking sheet, then coat it with cooking spray. Side Note: I bake my taquitos on the racks so any juices drip down onto the foil instead of making the taquitos soggy.
- Prepare the corn tortillas by wrapping them in damp paper towels and microwaving for 30-60 seconds to soften.
- Form the taquitos by placing a small spoonful of refried beans down the center of the tortilla, sprinkling the beans with a bit of extra-sharp cheddar, then adding shredded beef on top of the cheese.
- Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down on the wire racks on the prepared baking sheet. Finish rolling the remaining taquitos.
- Spray each of them with olive oil cooking spray.
- Bake the taquitos by placing the baking sheet in the oven and baking for 15-20 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.Side Note: If your oven doesn't have a convection setting, use the regular setting and flip the taquitos over halfway through the cooking time.
