HEALTH & BENEFITS

This dish is not particularly healthy, but roast beef is a good source of protein and can provide essential amino acids for building and repairing muscle tissues. Green chilies contain capsaicin which can help to reduce inflammation and boost metabolism. Adding jalapeno cheese to the taquitos is a good way to get some calcium, which is important for maintaining healthy bones.
