HAWAIIAN BBQ TAQUITOS
I seem to be on a Hawaiian roll right now. Hawaiian pasta, now these taquitos.
What’s next?
Hawaiian pizza, maybe?
For those of you wondering what a Taquito is…it’s a tortilla filled, rolled and then baked to perfection.
They’re super easy, tender, and incredibly delicious!
You can go wild with the fillings.
I went for the classic Hawaiian flavors that I know and love…pineapples and mangoes, paired with a spicy tangy BBQ chicken, caramelized onions, and loads of fresh cheddar cheese.
I’ve used my own homemade tortillas, the recipe for which I posted yesterday. You can use store bought ones but trust me when I tell you that homemade ones are 100xxxx better.
These taquitos have become a family favorite at my place. I’m sure you’ll love them just as much. 🙂
