Garnish and Suggestions

Garnish with a 7-11 taquito and some cilantro! Serve it up!

Suggestions:

  • Try using 7-11 taquitos as your layers, few are used and they bring so much added flavor.
  • Do not over do it on the icing. Could overwhelm the entire cake.
  • Try it using steak or beef flavors!
