Notes

Buffalo Chickpea Taquitos

 

My absolute favourite way to eat this buffalo chickpea filling is baked into a taquito! Divide the mixture equally between 4 large corn/whole wheat tortillas or 8 small tortillas and sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Roll the tortillas tightly. Brush exterior of the tortilla with a small amount of oil and bake in the oven at 400-degrees F for 15-minutes. Enjoy!
