How to make baked taquitos into a freezer meal:
To do so, prepare the recipe as directed.
After rolling the taquitos, place them in a gallon sized freezer bag. You should be able to fit 12-15 in each bag.
Keeping the bag full will keep the taquitos rolled up.
When ready to bake, remove taquitos from the freezer and let them thaw in the fridge for 12 hours.
Place taquitos seam-side down on the baking sheet.
Spray the tops of the taquitos with nonstick cooking spray and sprinkle with salt.
Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the tops begin to golden. Let them cool slightly and serve with ranch or salsa.

I've made some very similar to these, and they could be made ahead and frozen. I haven't tried freezing them, because we eat them too fast. But they did last in the refrigerator for a couple of days before they were baked.

I just made these and they were delicious, I had to make a few changes to use the ingredients I had on hand substituted taco seasoning for the ranch dressing, roasted leftover chicken and used corn and flour tortillas because I did not have enough of either one but they turn out awesome. Thanks for sharing

-
Chelsea says:
do you freeze before or after you bake them????
-
Cyd says:
You can really do either, but we like to have them all prepared and then freeze them. Pull out as needed to thaw and then bake.

Jody says:
I made these tonight and I'm frustrated. I am not a very skilled -at all- chef so I am sure my lack of skills had a lot to do with it. Mixing up the filling ingredients was a nightmare. How is it supposed to look? I had globs and globs of cream cheese and couldn't get them to mix. Maybe change the ingredient list to say a half packet of ranch instead of 1 packet; When I saw mix ingredients I mixed all ingredients.I tried to get as much powder out as I could but they are still sooo salty. User error I know.
-
JJ says:
Sounds like maybe your cream cheese was straight from the fridge? If you set it out in the morning (or at least several hours before you plan to need it....or thaw it in the microwave a bit on the "defrost" function if you're like me and you still forget!) it should be room temp by dinner time. The packet of ranch seasoning might be a personal taste thing. I plan to use a homemade mix, add a little at a time, and taste as I go to make sure it's not too salty for us. I'm planning on making these tonight and will definitely update as to how it goes. Try again, I think you can get it!
-
Mara Chambers says:
How many chicken breasts are you using to get 4 cups shredded chicken. Did you all find it was the right ratio of chicken with other ingredients. Seems like a lot of chicken!Thanks!
-
Cyd says:
To end up with four cups shredded chicken, cook 1 1/3 pounds of raw, skinless boneless chicken. Or, buy a cooked rotisserie chicken that weighs between 2 1/3-3 pounds. I hope this helps.
-
Bre says:
Can’t eat flour tortillas (gluten free), what about corn tortillas?
-
Cyd says:
Corn tortillas will work great in this recipe too.
-
Laverne says:
If you freeze them before baking do you defrost them when you get ready to bake them again.
-
Cyd says:
You can pull them out ahead of time to thaw in the fridge.
-
Virginia says:
That's looks yummy going to make some
-
Crystal Fleming says:
I’ve made these numerous times, they are awesome! My teen can’t get enough of them!
-
Gina Thompson says:
Does anyone know the far and calories for a serving on this?
-
Gina Thompson says:

-
Mil says:
Since they will be thawed after freezing, use the same oven temp and time.
-
Rachel says:
Are you able to find a cooking spray that doesn’t have silicone in it? 😩
-
Kami says:
I have made them twice and the toppings all come out the ends while cooking. Any suggestions on what to do? They are delicious.
-
Cyd says:
We have not had a problem. They may be over filled and that's why the toppings are coming out the ends.
-
April says:
Could this be a dip instead of wrapped up
-
Cyd says:
Mmmmm! Yes it could be a delicious dip for crackers, bread, or chips and served warm.
-
Kathleen says:
Just made this recipe today. These are delicious! Easy to make & the family loved them.

There are gluten free flour Tortillas at Vons.

-
Kim says:
I triple this recipe and freeze 2 bags. My children love them! Easy for them to eat and tasty too.We have also brushed avocado oil on top instead of spray and it works just as well. Thank You so much for sharing your recipes. It has made my life a little simpler as far as meal planning.
-
Cyd says:
Thanks Kim! We are so glad the family likes the taquitos. They are very kid friendly - and adults like them too. Have a terrific weekend.

Do you have the calorie count for this?

t says:
Any idea if you can use regular ranch dressing? Having trouble finding dry ranch mix anywhere, and can't find all the ingredients to make my own dry ranch mix either, unfortunately.
-
Cyd says:
Sure, Ranch dressing should work just fine. We all have to substitute ingredients during this pandemic.

-
Amanda P says:
This is delicious ! My husband loves it. Any recommendations on sides or what you could serve with it?
-
Des says:
This was a hit our home! We aren't onion people so I made it without onions. The recipe didn't make 20 for me because I put a little extra filling...but there's still 16 so it's enough for our family. I served with a fresh pot of beans, sour cream, avocado, and salsa! I want to try this with jalepenos in the mix next time!
-
Momma Cyd says:
It all sounds delicious!

These sound delicious! Could they also be made in an air fryer, and would the temp (425) be the same?
-
Kristyn Hanco*ck says:
I just scrolled through the comments to find out about air frying them too.
-
Rose M says:
Great easy recipe
