Taquitos

Cultural Context

Traditionally filled with meats or cheese, they are often served with sides like guacamole and salsa, making them a festive snack or meal. Today, taquitos have gained popularity beyond Mexico, appearing on menus across the globe, often with creative fillings and toppings.
