What a blessing it is that my husband’s company is so close to home. We take full advantage of more time together and cherish our lunch dates. This is something I made for us for lunch last week and thought I would share! These are not only yummy but very easy to make (and yes, for those of us with allergies- it is naturally allergy friendly!). Serve with homemade salsa!

Would love the company! 🙂
Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe and inspiration! I’m going to make a batch of these today to take to our neighbors~I’m going to pair them with a Mexican chopped salad and some homemade refried beans! Yum! I’m glad there will be enough for our family too! Blessings to you and yours!
Yum Yum Yum! I’m not a fan of the corn tortillas, so I would go with the flour, but this sounds easy to make and good.
Janelle, would it be OK to use ground turkey and a different type of cheese? Sounds easy and yum! Thanks, Jenny C.
Do you think these would be just as good using flour tortillas? This sounds amazing and looks super simple 🙂 Thanks, Heidi
Corn tortillas tend to not be as greasy when fried, but flour tortillas can and are definitely used!
I actually prefer the taste/texture of Corn tortillas! 🙂 and I almost always order taquitos at the Mexican restaurant. Can’t wait to try these. My hubby will love this dish!
