Ingredients
Taquitos
- 6 Tortillas
- 3 tablespoon olive oil (2 ½ tablespoon regular olive oil and ½ tablespoon chili olive oil)
- ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Serving
- 2 tablespoon Guacamole
Instructions
- Prepare Tortillas and Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, salt, and garlic powder. Set aside this spice blend. Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable for rolling.
- Season Tortillas with Oil and Spices: Brush each tortilla generously with the olive oil mixture, ensuring an even coat. Sprinkle the spice blend over the oiled tortillas evenly to ensure they will be flavorful when cooked.
- Roll the Taquitos: Starting from one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a cylindrical shape to form the taquitos. Secure if needed to maintain shape during cooking.
- Cook the Taquitos: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the rolled taquitos seam side down into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy, turning carefully to maintain their shape.
- Serve with Guacamole: Remove the crispy vegan taquitos from the skillet and serve immediately with 2 tablespoons of fresh guacamole on the side for dipping.
Notes
- You can use regular or chili-infused olive oil to add a subtle heat flavor.
- Warming the tortillas before rolling will prevent cracking.
- For extra crispiness, you can bake the taquitos at 400°F for 10-12 minutes instead of pan-frying.
- Customize spice blend by adding cumin or cayenne pepper for different flavor profiles.
