I love taquitos, and the obsession with rolled tacos was passed down to my kids. I totally blame my dad who makes traditional taquitos every Christmas Eve. My whole family looks forward to this day because we only have them once a year. It is such a treat to look forward to.
I love taquitos so much that I have a few different and healthier versions on my blog that we make every football and holiday season. Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Taquitos and Slow Cooker Greek Chicken Taquitos. Oh, I forgot to mention that they are EASY slow cooker recipes!
Taquitos are great finger food, pretty easy to prepare, and dang delicious.
I saw an idea for Apple Pie Tacos from A Cooking Panda. My daughter Jersey saw it and was like ooh, I want those. It looked a little messy, so how could I prevent a massive taco making a mess with five kids? This is what came to mind. When I Googled it to find the video again later, I came across a recipe from my friend Holly, Spend with Pennies, for Apple Pie Tacos, so if you are looking for more of a taco then be sure to check out her recipe.
Otherwise, grab a bowl of whipped cream and dip on in with these Caramel Apple Pie Taquitos.
