Can you demonstrate how to roll these?
Shonda, I just rolled them up burrito style, seam side down on the pan. I had to warm the tortillas up a bit in the microwave to make them more pliable so they would roll easier and not break.
Ive neer commentedbon a recipe before, but made them yesterday for the first time and they were so delicious that I wanted to comment! I used turkey ham instead of bacon, but I don’t think anyone would have noticed the difference, because they were gone within minutes. Three grown men declared that those were the best taquitos they’ve ever had!!!
is there a non-wheat alternative for the tortillas?
You could use corn tortillas if you’d like. If you’r going for no grains, you can try cabbage leaves I’ve seen that being used.
These. Are. Awesome! However, when eating them for breakfast I realized I forgot to add the bacon. LOL
Thanks, Stacy! I’m glad you liked them!
