Pizza Taquitos Recipe

IMG_6083.jpeg

If I had to choose pizza or hamburgers I'd definitely choose pizza anyday. I guess you can say I'm a pizza kind of girl. Today I want to show you how to make Pizza Taquitos, they are garlic, cheesy and full of Pepperoni. I really like that you can play around with this recipe and add as much or as little of each ingredient. Also I used bigger tortillas, next time I'll use smaller ones because they are easier to fry and eat. So if you want to make your own Cheesy Garlicy Pizza Taquitos, then follow the step by step guide below or watch the video tutorial here:

In batches of two to three at a time, place taquitos seam side down carefully in the oil. Cook for about one minute on each side or until outside becomes golden all the way around.

Remove From Oil

Remove from oil onto a paper towel lined plate. Once the Taquitos are done draining out the oil, add them to a serving platter. Warm up sauce of your choice in a small sauce pan and add it to a small serving dish.
