PIZZA TAQUITOS ARE FIRST BRUSHED WITH MELTED GARLIC BUTTER, THEN STUFFED FULL WITH MOZZARELLA AND PEPPERONI, FRIED TO PERFECTION, AND DUNKED IN WARM PIZZA SAUCE.
Lord, have mercy. These pizza taquitos are ridiculously good and I highly suggest making them immediately. They will be the guaranteed star of any game day spread.
You wanna know where I got the idea from? I’m a little embarrassed to admit…
It was Quick Trip. The holy grail of gas stations. Paul and I were driving up to Iowa when the road trip munchies kicked in. I wandered over to the little tornado station, and stumbled upon this delicacy. I know, I know. A little bit gross, but it was good and we shared it so leave me alone 😉
I took one bite and immediately knew I needed to make my own, but better. Fresh fried and with the game changer…garlic butter.
These pizza taquitos are so fun for a party or get together, and are super quick to make. We’re talking like 15 minutes! Start by getting the oil in your frying pan nice and hot. Melt your butter and then mix in the garlic and parsley. Line up your tortillas and spread them with the melted butter. I like to use thick, taco sized tortillas, so that the outside has a crunch, but the inside is still soft. In these pictures, I used the Trader Joe’s truly handmade flour tortillas, and I think they are perfect!
Place a couple of pepperonis over the garlic butter, and then a thick line of mozzarella cheese towards the beginning of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla into a taquito roll with the cheese in the center.
*Tip- When your tortilla is almost completely rolled up, place a tiny amount of cheese before your done. I’ve found that it helps keep the taquito together when frying. Not sure if this is proper taquito making etiquette, but it works!
Fry em up and dunk them in some warm pizza sauce for taste bud overload.
