DeliMex says: To avoid risk of burns or other injuries, let taquitos stand 1-2 minutes before serving. Caution: Box is very hot! Carefully remove from microwave.

Abi says: While I am a bit ashamed at the amount of packaging used on just five taquitos, I am also really psyched about being able to purchase just five taquitos. Just five taquitos!

Delimex taquitos usually come in such ridiculously large packages that the company must assume you’re either hosting a party, feeding a family of 12, or you’re a girl with an extremely enormous freezer. If none of those applies, then you’re stuck eating taquitos for many meals. Take a look at that nutritional info! Many meals of taquitos is not a good diet plan!

So, with the five pack, you can indulge in taquitos while practicing portion control.

Each taquito is made of shredded beef rolled in a yellow corn tortilla. There’s probably other stuff mixed in with the shredded beef, but I was too scared to read the ingredients label. I definitely prefer the chicken version of these taquitos, but the Fairfax, VA Safeway wasn’t carrying a chicken 5-pack. I am not sure why exactly I prefer the chicken, since I haven’t had one in a year, but I think it contains fewer filler than the beef.

But enough about fillers! While consuming these taquitos, I wished for guacamole. Since guacamole did not magically apparate at my desk, I had to settle for eating them plain. They are pretty good plain, though quite drying with all of that ground corn. If you are at your desk, I recommend a soda. Why a soda? Eating these guys with water simply introduces and unpleasant aftertaste that reminds you that the taquitos may contain unfamiliar items.

I simply can’t eat taquitos plain. Guacamole and/or salsa are a must. I remember in high school, we would have a week of ethnic food every year to celebrate cultures for some fundraising. Well, I guess frozen taquitos qualified as international cuisine. It was ambrosia compared to what I ate the rest of the year, so I got addicted to them then. 2.59 seems like a steep price for taquitos that I could probably inhale within a minute, but that may be me being cheap. By the way, did the crisping box work?

Hmm…that was kind of all over the place, and for that I apologize.

That’s one scary box. It looks like a box of beef-filled snakes, with the one hanging over the edge about to launch at your face.

Ace - I can eat taquitos plain, though I prefer them with some sort of mexican-style dipping substance. $2.59 is a lot to pay for 5, especially considering that you can get a box of 30 for $6.00. And yes, the crisping box worked, though in general crisping boxes/trays just make things hard, not crispy.

Crow - Mmmm. Snakes of deliciousness.
