Taquitos – Mexican Finger-food
Pane-Bistecca
My taquitos are very international, because the recipe is actually Mexican, but I used Turkish Dürüm flatbreads, and I made them in Switzerland.
I used Dürüm because they are readily available in Switzerland, but originally you would have to make them with tortilla wrappers. Both are very similar in taste and are great for filled rolls.
My rolls are filled with minced meat and peperoni. Again, you can make many variations and fill them with chicken or vegetables as you like.
A taquito, taco dorado, rolled taco or flauta (Spanish for “flute”) is a Mexican dish that usually consists of a small, rolled-up tortilla containing a filling such as beef, cheese or chicken. The dish is often topped with condiments such as sour cream and Guacamole. Corn tortillas are usually used for taquitos, and if they are larger than the taquitos, they are also known as flautas, which can be made with flour or corn tortillas.
