Buffalo Chickpea & Artichoke Baked Vegan Taquitos Recipe – a delicious, creamy, spicy snack for game day, parties, or anytime. Easy to make them as spicy (or not) as you want them. They make a great lunch or dinner too!

This spicy buffalo vegan taquitos recipe is meant to be an appetizer or snack, but let’s be honest, I could make a meal out of these! The filling is a creamy mixture of smashed chickpeas, chopped artichokes, and my now famous Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese sauce (a reader favorite!) all mixed with Buffalo style hot sauce.

Easy to make as spicy hot (or not) as you like. Judging from the popularity of my Buffalo Cauliflower Bites, I’d say you guys love buffalo sauce! Let’s get the (vegan) party started!!

What is a Taquito?

Taquitos, sometimes call rolled tacos or flautas, are small tortillas with filling that have been rolled and fried until crisp.

Traditionally, this Mexican dish uses corn tortillas, but I used flour tortillas here because I find they hold together better. You can use whatever you like best. Using corn tortillas would make these completely gluten free.

I have also chosen to bake my vegan taquitos recipe instead of fry them to cut down on the saturated fat.

While this is definitely not a traditional taquitos recipe, it is absolutely delicious!

How to Make this Vegan Taquitos Recipe

These taquitos are super easy to make, especially if you use staple ingredients like canned chickpeas and frozen artichoke hearts. You can even buy pre chopped butternut squash for the “cheese” sauce.

Mash the chickpeas in a bowl Mix in the artichokes, dairy free cheese sauce, and Buffalo hot sauce Scoop 2 tablespoons into tortilla and roll tightly. Bake!

Hint: Make a double batch of cheese sauce and then make Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese or Easy Cheesy Chili Mac another day! Both kid and omnivore approved!

What do you Eat with Taquitos

I like to serve them up with my Creamy Cumin Ranch, which is the perfect accompaniment. You could also dunk them in Guacamole, an incredibly easy dip that should be on your party table anyway.

And if you’re feeling extra cheesy, try them with my Homemade Vegan Queso.

If you’re making these into a meal, try serving them with rice andbeans.

Can Taquitos be Made Ahead and Frozen?

Yes, these can be assembled ahead do time and then frozen until ready to heat to serve. If baking from frozen, you will need to add additional cooking time. Otherwise, bring them to room temperature and bake as the recipe states.
