Buffalo Blue Cheese Vegetarian Taquitos

Buffalo Blue Cheese Vegetarian Taquitos by Alison's AllspiceThese buffalo blue cheese vegetarian taquitos were created completely on a whim.   Oftentimes I buy a few extra ingredients that aren’t on my grocery list at the store, simply because they are on sale. One night when I needed a quick weeknight meal, I riffled through the fridge and found some 6-inch tortillas, so I whipped up these taquitos .  I had seen a vegan buffalo taquitos pin on pinterest and thought it looked like a fantastic idea, but I hadn’t even look at the recipe. As it turned out, my version is loaded with tangy blue cheese, as well as a healthy does of vegetables!

Buffalo Blue Cheese Vegetarian Taquitos by Alison's Allspice Buffalo Blue Cheese Vegetarian Taquitos by Alison's Allspice Buffalo Blue Cheese Vegetarian Taquitos by Alison's Allspice Buffalo Blue Cheese Vegetarian Taquitos by Alison's AllspiceWhen making vegetarian buffalo flavored dishes, I always like to start with white ingredients so that the bright buffalo color really pops.  In this taquitos recipe, I crossed two previously used ideas – my Beer Battered Buffalo Cauliflower, and my Buffalo Queso Dip.  White beans and cauliflower make the filling for these taquitos, along with tangy blue cheese!

Variations to the Buffalo Blue Cheese Vegetarian Taquitos recipe:

  1. If  you want to reduce the heat level, omit the cayenne pepper.
  2. This recipe can be made gluten free by using corn tortillas.  However, I found corn tortillas to be a lot harder to work with than flour tortillas.  If you chose corn tortillas, be sure to heat them well before filling and rolling.
  3. If you are not a fan of blue cheese, substitute with an equal amount of Mexican cheese blend. I found omitting it to make the taquitos dry.
  4. Try these taquitos with my Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing!
