Steak Taquitos
with Guacamole
Taquitos are a traditional Mexican street food that are usually deep-fried, but we’ve opted to bake ours instead for a healthy twist! They crisp up nicely in the oven while the cheesy centre melts. Get excited, because they’re delicious!
Produced in a facility that processes milk, sesame, eggs, fish, shellfish, crustaceans, mustard, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybean and sulphites.
