Taquito

What the real thing tastes like

Taquitos (Spanish pronunciation: [taˈkito], Spanish for "little taco"), tacos dorados, rolled tacos, or flautas (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈflawta], Spanish for "flute") are a Mexican dish that typically consists of small rolled-up tortillas that contain filling, including beef, cheese or chicken. The filled tortillas are then shallow-fried or deep-fried. The dish is often topped with condiments such as sour cream and guacamole. Corn tortillas are generally used to make taquitos. The dish is more commonly known as flautas when the little tacos are larger than their taquito counterparts, and can be made with either flour or corn tortillas.

Taquitos are the smaller cousin in a family of fried rolled tacos—corn tortillas wrapped tight around beef, cheese, or chicken, then shallow or deep-fried until they're golden and crisp. When they grow up and get bigger, they earn the name flautas and can swap their corn for flour tortillas. The dish arrives dressed in sour cream and guacamole, transforming something simple into something complete.
