We add extra 'umph' to these crispy taquitos with either our Chipotle Seasoning Mix or Tinga Cooking Paste.
Ingredients
Capsicana Mexican Chipotle Fajita Seasoning OR Mexican Tinga Cooking Paste
2 packs of Capsicana Mini Tortilla Wraps
500g Leftover turkey, cooked & shredded
100g Cheese, grated
1 Onion, finely sliced
1 Red pepper, finely sliced
1-2 tbsp Cooking oil
A handful of Coriander, chopped
Method
- Preheat your oven to 200C. Alternatively if you have an air fryer it’s a great way to speed up cooking time and get a nice crispy taquito, turn the dial to 200C and get ready to fry!
- In a hot pan fry the onion and red pepper in a little oil and stir until the vegetables are softened (4-5 minutes). Add your seasoning mix or paste and 1 tbsp water then cook for an extra minute.
- Lower the heat and add in the turkey, mix well before adding in the cheese and coriander, then remove from the heat.
- Place a few spoonfuls of the mixture onto each tortilla, creating neat lines of filling in the centre, roll up tightly leaving both ends of the tortilla open.
- Place the rolled taquitos on a lined baking tray (or in the air fryer basket), spacing them out so they cook evenly.
- Brush lightly with oil and cook until crispy for about 20-30 minutes in the oven (or 10 minutes in the air fryer).
- Serve your tasty taquitos topped with fresh guacamole, fresh herbs, dollops of salsa and shredded lettuce. Enjoy!
