Step-by-Step Instructions
- Brown the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart. Season with salt and pepper, cooking for 5-7 minutes until browned. Mince garlic and measure heavy cream.
- Add Garlic: Once browned, drain excess grease. Stir in minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Create the Creamy Mixture: Pour heavy cream into the skillet, scraping up browned bits. Sprinkle in Italian seasoning and simmer for 2 minutes until thick.
- Melt the Cheese and Add Spinach: Stir in Parmesan until melted. Fold in spinach and let it wilt.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling onto each tortilla.
- Roll the Taquitos: Roll tortillas tightly around filling, securing with a toothpick if needed. Arrange on a plate.
- Fry the Taquitos: Heat oil in a pot to 350°F. Fry taquitos for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Remove taquitos and drain on a wire rack or paper towels. Serve immediately with dips like sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.

Notes
Properly drain excess grease after cooking the beef to avoid soggy taquitos. Freshly grated Parmesan helps achieve a creamier filling. Maintain oil temperature at 350°F for perfect crispiness.
