Baked Beef Taquitos

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

Add cooked rice, water, bell pepper, and garlic to the beef in the skillet; stir and cook until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon onto tortillas and roll to close. Place taquitos tightly against each other in an 8x12-inch baking pan. Pour salsa over and top with Cheddar cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 25 minutes.
