   Meanwhile, drizzle flour tortillas with olive oil ; brush or rub to completely coat on both sides. Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Once beef filling is done, add a heaping ¼ cup filling to one side of each tortilla, then sprinkle each with 1 tbsp mexican cheese blend . Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to create taquitos. Place, seam sides down, on prepared sheet. Tip: Make sure the taquitos are snug on the sheet—this will prevent them from unrolling. Bake on middle rack until golden brown and crispy ⏱️ 10 minutes .
