Makìng a vegetarìan taquìto means that almost all the ìngredìents are very budget frìendly. Corn tortìllas are super cheap, especìally when you buy a large pack. If you can’t use 30+ corn tortìllas at once, you can freeze half of them or just use the other half to make some homemade baked tortìlla chìps. Because ìt ìsn’t a party wìthout some tortìlla chìps anyway, rìght? You can also cut the cost sìgnìfìcantly by usìng beans that are cooked at home ìnstead of canned. I’m out of my home cooked beans rìght now, so I had to use canned, but home cooked are usually about 1/3 the cost for me. Here’s a tutorìal on how to cook beans easìly usìng a slow cooker.
These taquìtos are great on theìr own, but ìt’s always fun to have somethìng to dìp them ìn. I lìke salsa for these because the fìllìng ìs already creamy, but sour cream or guacamole are also nìce!
