Quick and easy freezer-friendly vegan taquitos that are perfect for school lunches. Made with mushrooms and refried beans.  Bake these taquitos instead of frying them.

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Family Celebrations available at Publix. The opinions and text are all mine.

This is the first time I have made taquitos.

I don’t know why it took me so long because they are so much fun to make.

The roasted Portobello mushrooms in this recipe are the perfect size to be rolled into taquitos. They also add a “meaty” texture to the recipe.

What are Taquitos

  • Taquitos as “mini tacos” or “rolled tacos”
  • They are usually rolled with corn tortillas and fried
  • The ingredients of a taquito are infinite. My favorite taquitos always include refried beans
  • Taquitos can be served with creama or Guacamole

Baked vs Fried

Taquitos are best when fried because they retain their shape. Also, they taste so much better when fried.

However, I prefer baking them because they are healthier that way. They can be very crispy and delicious when baked. All I have to do is lightly brush them with oil on the outside and bake them in the oven.

The Isadora refried beans are so easy to prepare. They come in a pouch and you just have to heat them up in the microwave for one minute.

That’s it! You don’t need to worry about opening a can or spending an hour making refried beans at home in the pressure cooker. Isadora makes it very easy for you to make dinner.

Also, I contacted the company and confirmed with them that their product is fully vegan. They don’t use animal fat or lard in their refried beans. YAY!
