BBQ taquitos are a tasty appetizer filled with flavorful bbq pork and cheese, all wrapped up in a tortilla. Delicious game day food that will wow your crowd.

Taquitos

It has been so warm here that I feel like summer has officially arrived. You know what that means? Barbeques at our house! We celebrate several birthdays throughout the summer and really, just love any excuse to have friends and family over.

We live just outside of Atlanta and this year, Atlanta got a professional soccer team. So cool! We were fortunate enough to be able to attend a game recently and I couldn’t believe how involved the fans are and how exciting the game was to watch. Being there really took my love of soccer to the next level. I might have to get season tickets. 🙂

Since we look for any reason to have a BBQ, we decided to plan a watch party of the Beautiful Game soccer tournament this summer. Everyone will bring a favorite appetizer and I will provide the summertime cervezas, Modelo Especial and Modelo Negra. So, while my body may be in Georgia, my mind can easily picture this BBQ tailgating at the tournament.

Modelo is the perfect accompaniment to a backyard BBQ, especially for the tournament since it’s brewed with a fighting spirit! Modelo is also the Proud Sponsor of the Beautiful Game!

 

One of my favorite game watching recipes are these BBQ taquitos. They are always a crowd favorite. These scrumptious bites will make your taste buds scream GOOOOOOAALLLLLL every time.  Start with BBQ pork made in the slow cooker with a splash of Modelo Negra, spices and BBQ sauce. Once it’s cooked, shred the meat and mix with cheese and cream cheese. Place a little of the mixture on a corn tortilla, roll up, and pop in the oven to get them nice and crisp. I mean, how good does that sound?!

To make these easy to assemble for game day, you can cook your pork ahead of time. Shred it and place in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to roll. I like serving these taquitos with ranch dressing topped with chopped cilantro. The creaminess of the ranch is a nice compliment to the flavorful bbq.
