Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Beef
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned and crumbly, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess grease for a cleaner filling.
Step 2: Build the Flavor
Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the softened cream cheese and mix until the beef becomes creamy and well-coated.
Step 3: Add Bacon and Cheese
Remove the skillet from heat. Fold in crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella. The mixture should be cheesy, rich, and irresistible.
Step 4: Assemble the Taquitos
Spoon the filling evenly across each low-carb tortilla. Roll them tightly into taquitos and place seam-side down on a lined baking sheet.
Step 5: Brush and Bake
Lightly brush each taquito with olive oil or melted butter for a golden, crispy finish. Bake at 400°F for 15–18 minutes, flipping once, until crispy and bubbly.
