For extra flavor, try using different types of cheese, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack. If you prefer less spice, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapenos before dicing. These taquitos can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or a creamy cilantro-lime dressing.
