Beef Barbacoa Taquitos - 50/Case

The Beef Barbacoa Taquito - 50/Case (often sold as a 50-piece tray) is a gourmet frozen appetizer featuring tender, shredded beef barbacoa wrapped in a crispy, seasoned mini corn tortilla.

Flavor Profile

Each bite-sized taquito delivers authentic Mexican-inspired flavors: slow-cooked beef barbacoa seasoned with a bold blend of Mexican spices, complemented by fresh onions, cilantro, and a bright hint of lime. The result is a savory, juicy filling with smoky, tangy, and slightly spicy notes—perfectly balanced inside a crunchy rolled tortilla shell. These are mini-sized (about 0.5 oz each), making them ideal finger food. 

Preparation

They come frozen and are designed for easy oven-baking straight from the freezer (no thawing needed for best results). Simply bake until golden and crispy for a quick, crowd-pleasing snack or starter. Some versions are noted as best cooked from frozen for food safety and texture. 

Perfect for Parties and Festivals

These taquitos shine at casual gatherings, especially Cinco de Mayo celebrations. Their handheld size and bold flavors make them a hit for:

•  Cinco de Mayo parties — Pair them with margaritas, guacamole, salsa, queso, or a simple cilantro-lime crema for a festive Mexican-themed spread.

•  Festivals, tailgates, or large events — The 50-piece tray (or bulk cases of 100+) serves a crowd efficiently without much prep time.

•  Appetizer platters — Serve warm alongside other bites like quesadillas or empanadas for variety.

They’re a convenient, upscale alternative to basic taquitos—great for foodservice, catering, or home entertaining when you want authentic taste with minimal effort. Many suppliers (like Gourmet Kitchen or AppetizersUSA) market them specifically as party-ready hors d’oeuvres. 

If you’re hosting, plan on 4–6 pieces per person as an appetizer. They reheat well and hold up on a buffet. For extra flair, garnish with fresh cilantro, diced onions, or a squeeze of lime right before serving to echo the filling’s bright notes.
