- Prepare the Corn Tortillas:
- Corn tortillas can be prone to breaking when rolled, but with a few tricks, you can ensure they stay intact.
- Warm the tortillas before rolling. This can be done by microwaving them for about 20-30 seconds with a damp paper towel on top or heating them on the griddle for a few seconds on each side.
- Keep them covered with a damp cloth or paper towel to retain moisture until you’re ready to use them.

- Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down on the griddle.
- Let the taquitos cook until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Tips for Success:
- Warm the Tortillas: Warming the tortillas is crucial to prevent them from cracking. Make sure they are pliable before rolling.
- Don’t Overfill: Avoid overfilling the tortillas to make rolling easier and ensure they hold together while cooking.
