    Meanwhile, drizzle flour tortillas with olive oil (1 TBSP for 2 servings or 2 TBSP for 4 servings); brush or rub to completely coat. Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Once pork filling is done, add a heaping 1/4 filling to one side of each tortilla, then sprinkle each with Mexican cheese blend (1 TBSP per tortilla). Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to create taquitos. Place seam sides down on prepared sheet. Make sure the taquitos are snug on the sheet so they do not unroll. Bake on middle rack until golden brown and crispy, 8-12 minutes.
