How To Make Oven Baked Shrimp Taquitos

Start by heating a skillet and pan-fry the white onion, red onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger until soft and translucent.
Then cut the tomatoes into 4 equal parts and add them to your onion mix. Cut the shrimp into small pieces.
When the tomatoes are soft add the shrimp and parsley and pan-fry them as well. Stir regularly until the shrimp are warm and set aside.
Meanwhile, warm 3 corn tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds between two pieces of kitchen paper.
This will make them more pliable. Scoop about three tablespoons of shrimp mixture on the tortillas. Roll them tight and place them on a baking tray.
Use a toothpick to secure the taquito. Repeat for the remaining five taquitos. Brush some oil on the taquitos or spray them with cooking spray.

Low Fat Shrimp Taquitos Recipe

This gluten-free recipe can be made with homemade corn tortillas but you can, of course, use store-bought tortillas as well.

Homemade Mexican tortillas can be a little less pliable than store-bought ones. As I love homemade corn tortillas that is what I used.

As these shrimp taquitos are baked in the oven. They are low fat and you do not have that smell of fried foods in the house which is a bonus.
