1
Marinate the Carne Asada
In a bowl, combine the carne asada with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to infuse flavors.
2
Cook the Carne Asada
Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated carne asada for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until it reaches the desired doneness. Remove from heat and let it rest before slicing into thin strips.
3
Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture
In a separate bowl, soften the cream cheese and mix in half of the shredded cheddar jack cheese. This will be your creamy filling for the taquitos.

4
Assemble the Taquitos
Take a flour tortilla and spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on it. Add some sliced carne asada on top, followed by a spoonful of pico de gallo. Roll the tortilla tightly to form a taquito, securing the filling inside.
5
Fry the Taquitos
In a deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the rolled taquitos, seam side down. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6
Serve
Serve the taquitos hot with remaining shredded cheddar jack cheese on top and drizzled with green sauce. Enjoy!
