Preheat the oven to 400 degrees on a convection setting if you have it. Line a baking sheet with tin foil then place two metal cooling racks on the baking sheet then coat with cooking spray. Side Note: I bake my taquitos on the racks so any juices drip down onto the tin foil instead of making all of the taquitos soggy.
Wrap corn tortillas in damp paper towels for 1 minute in the microwave to soften. Heat the meat until warm in the microwave for about 45 seconds.
Place a small spoonful of refried beans down the center of the tortilla, sprinkle the beans with a bit of extra sharp cheddar, then add shredded beef on top of the cheese.
Roll the tortilla tightly. Place seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet that’s been coated with cooking spray.
Finish rolling the rest of the taquitos, then spray each of them with cooking spray and bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Side Note: If you don't have a convection setting on your oven, use the regular setting and flip the taquitos over halfway through the cooking time.
