Taquitos are a fun meal or snack
My kids love José Olé Taquitos! They are a frequently requested item on our grocery list. I love that they can be prepared in ten minutes and have high quality ingredients: tender meats, real cheese, oven baked tortillas and authentic seasoning and spices.
José Olé Taquitos have 8g of protein in every serving which makes this Mom happy. They are deliciously crispy prepared in the air fryer, and if you like the José Olé® Taquitos Chicken and Cheese, the cheese is so melty and good!
There are three great José Olé varieties at our local store, but our favorites are the José Olé® Taquitos Chicken and Cheese and the José Olé® Taquitos Beef.
It's also fun to enjoy your Jose Ole Taquitos in different ways.
Try them:
- As -is: Enjoy their delicious flavor
- With Toppings: Sour Cream with green onions on top
- With Dips:Different salsas, especially salsa verde!
