VEGAN TAQUITOS

Switch up Taco Tuesday with oil-free, crunchy vegan taquitos. With a variety of filling choices, tortilla choices, and even two cooking options, this vegan taquito recipe is fabulous, especially for the kids.

Taquitos, also called rolled tacos, are traditionally fried, but I bake or air-fry my vegan taquitos. Regardless of what fillings and toppings are chosen, vegan taquitos make a great snack, lunch, or dinner.

Using corn tortillas, they need to be heated in a skillet or microwave to soften them before rolling the taquitos.
