    I made these Cheesy Paneer Bhurji Taquitos as a result of leftover paneer bhurji, and tortillas in the fridge were approaching their expiration date. Since then, I always make these Cheesy Taquitos, and serve them topped with lot of onions, tomatoes, cilantro, micro greens or lettuce with a side of lime crema and guacomole.

    Cheesy Paneer Bhurji Taquitos

    There are many different versions of taquitos that you can make. The most usual that happens is one with black bean and bell pepper filling and the paneer bhurji filling.

    These Paneer Bhurji Taquitos makes as an amazing meal prep meals. If I am meal prepping, I usually make the filling ahead of time. So on the day, we want to make these its just the assembling that is needed to be done.

    What are Taquitos?

    Taquitos are rolled up crispy tacos filled with cheese and protein of your choice. Being a vegetarian I usually rely on paneer, tofu and bean filling for taquitos along with cheese.

    The taquitos are served with different toppings like guacomole, sour cream, tomato salsa, Pica de Gallo, Fresh Salad, Provolone Cheese, Etc...

    I cook these taquitos directly on the flame, so that they are cooked and the raw taste of tortilla is gone. Then, once they are filled and rolled up, I brush some olive oil on them and bake them at 400F for 15 minutes.

    Some Other Fillings that you can Make For Your Taquitos
    • Black Bean Filling
    • Refried Bean Filling
    • Crispy Chipotle Chickpeas
    • Buffalo Cauliflower
    • Mushroom and Spinach
    • Samosa Filling
    • Potato and Peas
