CREAMY CARAMEL APPLE TAQUITOS

Taquitos are one my favorite Mexican dishes to eat as you well know because these taquitos are my favorite. Have you ever tried sweet taquitos?

FLAUTAS VS TAQUITOS

First, I guess technically because these are made with flour tortillas that these should be called flautas and not taquitos.

Taquitos are generally made with corn tortillas but this is what my family has always called this version so I’m sticking with that.

Growing up one of our favorite snacks was buttered tortillas covered with cinnamon sugar. Let’s just say I took that idea and “rolled” with it.

Just imagine cream cheese, caramel, and cinnamon apples all rolled up in a tortilla that has been brushed with butter and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar.

Brush them with a little butter and then roll them in cinnamon sugar.thegirlwhoateeverything_creamycaramelappletaquitos_step3_vertical-005The key to getting them nice and crispy without frying is to bake them at a high temperature. Watch out! It’s really hard to wait for these babies to cool down before taking a bite.

Although they don’t need more caramel, I couldn’t resist dipping them in a little extra caramel.
