In a way, it is! Once you take a closer look, you'll see that the small tortillas and juicy beef create an epic taco base. I think that these homemade beef taquitos have a bit more mixture to them, which I think is the best part.  I also like the texture of the crispy taquitos as well when the cooking time is done. To me, the little differences might be small compared to eating a regular taco, but the differences are there.
