Vegan Taquitos

Brown lentils (rinsed and picked over)

diced White Onion (diced)

Garlic

Jalapeño de-seeded (diced)

Rotel Fire Roasted Tomatoes with Green Chilies

Organic Vegetable Broth

Vegan Taco Seasoning

lime juice

Chilii powder (sprinkled)

Jalapeños (de-seeded and sliced)

Salsa of choice or hot sauce

Vegan sour cream

Mushroom Chorizo Filling

Potato Taco Filling

Cauliflower Filling

Walnut Taco Filling

Tempeh Taco Filling

Corn tortillas need to be heated in a skillet or microwave to soften them before rolling the taquitos.

Flour tortillas do not need to be heated.

Tortillas

Sauté the onion in a medium-sized saute pan with garlic and jalapeno.

You do not need oil.

The vegetables sweat and produce moisture.

You can always splash with vegetable broth, but don&#39;t waste the fat and calories on oil.

When the onions begin to be translucent, add the lentils and 3 cups of vegetable broth, 1 can of tomatoes, and the seasoning packages, stir, and bring to a boil.

Once boiling, turn the heat down to low and cook, covered for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, remove the top of the saute pan, and stir the contents.

Add the next can of tomatoes.

Continue to cook on low, stirring often.

Use the remaining vegetable broth if the mixture appears dry.

The goal is for it to have a thick consistency.

Allow cooling completely before rolling taquitos.

Lentil Taco Meat (or choose one of the other filling options)

Place each tortilla (corn or flour on a flat surface.

Add a small amount of taco filling on one side of the tortilla (about 4 Tablespoons) and tightly roll each tortilla.

Brush each taquito with lime juice and sprinkle with chili powder.

Choose your cooking method: air-frying or baking.

Rolling and cooking the taquitos

Set as many taquitos (fold down) in the base of the air-fryer.

Cook at 400 degrees for 7-10 minutes until crispy.

Remove from the air-fryer and cover to keep warm while the other taquitos cook.

Air Frying

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees

Place a silicone baking mat or parchment paper on a baking sheet.

Lay each taquito fold it down on the baking sheet.

Cook for 20 minutes until crispy.

These were so good!  I made them exactly as written.  My corn tortillas did break after I rolled them, so I obviously didn't wet them enough, but I'm going to try again.  They still cooked up crispy in the oven, just not pretty.  They do crisp up even more when left to rest for about 4-5 minutes before eating.  Served with cashew sour cream and salsa Verde.  Making them again tomorrow as I have filling left and I want to get my roll down.  Thanks!

Used your amazing recipe (cut in half) with my cup of leftover cooked lentils to make two giant taquitos for us today. Simply started with the onion, jalapeno and garlic, added the cooked lentils and fresh chopped tomatoes with some spices. Absolutely perfect!!!

A delicious, creamy, spicy snack for game day, parties, or anytime. Easy to make them as spicy (or not) as you want. These Vegan Taquitos make a great lunch or dinner too! You can even make them ahead of time and freeze them.

Buffalo Chickpea Vegan Taquitos

(15 oz each) chickpeas (rinsed and drained (or 3 cups cooked chickpeas))

artichoke hearts (frozen

Butternut Mac sauce

Buffalo style hot sauce

corn

Southwest Vegan Ranch Dressing

BEST Guacamole

Preheat your oven to 425°F.

In a large bowl mash the chickpeas with a potato masher or fork. Some larger pieces are ok, but you want the mixture to stick together.

Add the chopped artichoke hearts, Butternut Mac sauce and buffalo style hot sauce and mix to combine.

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the filling onto each tortilla and roll tightly. Place seam side down on a baking sheet.

Bake 15 to 20 minutes until the tortillas are browning on the edges

Soooooooo this is pretty good. The ranch puts it over the top for sure. I added 1/2 of a jalapeño to my ranch and it’s amazing I love it! I wish I had some avocados to make guacamole because that would also be amazing and also some vegan cashew queso would be really good. I was skeptical about the butternut Mac sauce but was very pleasantly surprised because it was delicious as ever.

Absolutely love these!  My husband and I are slowly adding more plant based meals into our diet and these were amazing!  I saw that you mentioned these could be frozen and then cooked, with our busy weeknight schedules, we were wondering how long these could last in the freezer?  Also, how would you recommend storing them in the freezer?  Airtight container? Freezer paper and freezer bag?
Thanks so much for the amazing recipe!
Also the butternut "cheese" sauce was great with adding a bit of salsa and corn chips!

Made these for my husband and I. My husband, who is the definition of a meat-lover, absolutely loved these. He didn't catch the lack of chicken until I told him. They are absolutely delicious, and our boys loved them too. A new staple in our home.

Made these for my omni friends and everyone enjoyed them.  Used the 1/4c of hot sauce and it was just right!

These are absolutely incredible! This will definitely be a staple in my house. Thank you so much!

I'm legit disappointed. I see in the comments that people can't wait to try this but what about the people who have made it? I followed the recipe exactly and I have to say, I find this quite tasteless. There's no flavor. Too bad
