  • did you mean Taquito? like chicken/beef and cheese wrapped in a corn or flour tortilla? i'm thinking they're probably TexMex. not sure.

    A taquito (from the Spanish diminutive of taco) is often considered a Mexican dish consisting of a small rolled-up tortilla and some sort of filling, usually beef or chicken. They are also called rolled tacos and are more recognized that way in Northern Mexico and Southern California.

    There are many varieties of taquitos in different regions. Taquitos most often contain beef or chicken, and sometimes include cheese, pork, potato, or vegetables. They are generally thin and tend to be about six inches long.

    Taquitos are very popular as a frozen food. They are also sold by 7-Eleven and QuikTrip convenience stores in a variety of flavours, as well as established restaurants such as Chico's Tacos. Taco Bell began to sell steak and chicken taquitos in 2006.

    Crispy fried taquitos sold in Mexico are often called tacos dorados ("fried tacos") or flautas ("flutes"). Flautas are cooked using corn or flour tortillas. These may be covered by cabbage, cream, guacamole, green chili sauce and crumbled Mexican cheese such as queso fresco. Chorizo (sausage), or machacado (dried beef), etc.
