Vegan & Gluten Free Chickpea Taquitos
These taquitos are as easy to make as they are delicious to eat. You only need 4 ingredients to make them and 20 minutes of your time. They’re the ideal healthy recipe to make if you need a quick appetizer or a fun dinner.
Tips & Tricks
To keep these taquitos gluten free, I like to use Siete brand tortillas. They come in a a variety of flours to meet multiple dietary needs. To ensure that the tortillas are flexible and don’t crack as you roll them, you’ll need to heat them slightly in the microwave or heat them on the stove in a skillet for a few seconds. If you use Siete brand, the heating instructions will be on the package.
To make the chickpea filling, I blend chickpeas with enchilada sauce in a food processor, but you can also use a high powered blender or even a fork and some elbow grease!
DIETARY NOTES
These taquitos are made with real ingredients and fit seamlessly into the following dietary needs when using the products/brands (or ones that are similar) listed in the recipe:
- gluten free
- soy free
- refined sugar free
- dairy free
- vegetarian
- vegan
- plant-focused
Make them your own!
If you can only find salsa instead of enchilada sauce, that will work here as well! If you’d rather have shredded chicken as your filling, go ahead and use that instead. And of course, use whatever tortillas you want that meet your needs. All in all, you can make whatever modifications you need to make these taquitos fit your diet as well as what ingredients you have on hand or that are accessible to you.

Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°.
- Drain and rinse your chickpeas.
- In a food processor, blend chickpeas with the enchilada sauce until throughly combined. You can also do this in a bowl with a fork if you don’t have a food processor.
- Since you’re working with gluten free tortillas, you’ll need to heat them slightly to make them flexible and ensure they don’t crack while rolling them. Heat each tortilla on the stove for 10 seconds per side or heat in the microwave for 15 seconds.
- Place approximately two tbsp of the chickpea mixture near one side of the tortilla, then roll to form the taquito.Place the seam side down on a baking sheet.
- Spray the taquitos with avocado oil or olive oil spray.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the taquitos are golden.
- While they cook, mix together the avocado dip ingredients until smooth.
- Serve warm with desired toppings and dips.
