Instructions:

* Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each tortilla.

* Sprinkle with cheese.

* Roll the tortillas tightly, tucking in the sides and ends.

4. Place on a baking sheet: Arrange the taquitos on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Tips:

* For crispier taquitos: Bake them for a longer time, about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through.

* For a quicker option: You can bake the taquitos at a higher temperature, around 400°F (200°C), for about 10-15 minutes.
