Vegan Creamy Red Pepper Taquitos!

For this recipe, I am going to show you how I make my creamy roasted red pepper chickpea taquitos.

These roasted red pepper taquitos are one of my favourite Mexican dishes to make. I love any food in a wrap, because to me, they always make food taste nicer, and the way they are cooked in the oven makes them have a crispy texture, and perfect for so many different kinds of dips & sauces. I'm using mini-floured tortillas, but you could also use corn tortillas. Here in England it is quite hard to find mini corn tortillas, and that's why I'm sticking to floured ones.

For the hot-sauce, I am using "Sound System" hot sauce by Howl At The Moon, which is made here in Liverpool, and it's AMAZING! It has an underlining taste of mango that will really help balance the heat of it, to but you can use any hot sauce that you like, such as some as Sriracha , Tabasco or any other that you prefer.
