Blue Corn Feta Taquitos
"Wow, do these sound good! I bet they would still be good with an unfried corn tortilla like a soft taco. Or fry the tortilla like a taco instead of a taquito. If you can't find blue use white or yellow corn tortillas."

I loved these so I am giving them 5 stars, but my meat-loving DH thought they just were okay, I added in some roasted garlic puree that I keep in my freezeer into the veggie mixture and reduce the amount of cilanto, we are not huge lovers of cilantro, thanks for sharing Engrossed!...Kitten -
Pretty good! I couldn't find blue corn tortillas, but I found red; I made half red, half white. It tasted like chips and salsa with a Greek twist. It takes a while to fill up the taquitos, I used a chop stick to push the filling to the middle. The filling is enough for 36 tortillas, not 6. Thank you Engrossed.

I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
