Feeding the masses can be so much fun. Especially if you can find something that the teenagers will love that doesn’t break the bank. Randomly, I tried this self-created taquito recipe, and I was instantly the favorite mom on the block. I even fed them to my adult friends last night and it was an instant hit. So, even though it was intended for teenage consumption, don’t limit yourself.
I’m so excited to finally publish this recipe for few kids who have been BEGGING me for it. So to all of my “kids” out there. Mama Brooke has your back and here is the promised recipe that changed your lives for the better! Tell your Moms to make them for you, orrrrr if they are too busy, come over and I’ll make them for you again! 
Do you freeze these? Wondering if I should freeze them unbaked or baked?
Yes we freeze them. Bake them first.
