They’re also ideal for lunchboxes, after-school snacks, or anytime you need something quick with zero prep. Just peel, dip, and go.

Storage Tips for Easier Mornings

  • Store taquitos in the fridge for up to 4 days
  • Freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 1 month
  • Reheat in the microwave for about 45 seconds or pop back in the air fryer for extra crispiness

Make a batch on Sunday, and you’ve got a no-brainer breakfast all week.

Not Just for Breakfast

These taquitos aren’t just for mornings. Wrap one in foil and pack it in a lunchbox with a dip cup and a side of fruit. Or serve as an after-school snack when everyone’s hungry and dinner is still hours away.

It’s packed with cheerful tunes to lighten the mood and get everyone moving, even the grumpy ones. Because let’s be honest, everything’s better with a beat and a side of guac.
