Spicy Spinach and Pepper Taquitos





CORN TORTILLAS



NACHO CHEESE



SPINACH/PEPPER MIXTURE
1 c fresh spinach
1/2 sweet red bell pepper, diced
1/2 sweet yellow bell pepper, diced
1/4 yellow onion, diced
Juice of one lime
1 T olive oil
1 jalapeno pepper, finely diced
1 t chili powder
1 t sea salt
Place ingredients in a Ziploc bag and marinate for 1 hour.
NACHO CHEESE
1 c cashews, soaked
1/4 c water
1/2 sweet red bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of half a lemon
1 T Nutritional yeast
1 t turmeric
1/2 t sea salt
Blend ingredients until thick and creamy.
CORN TORTILLAS
4 c fresh corn kernels, from sweet corn on the cob
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 c golden flax seeds, finely ground
1 t sea salt
Chop corn and bell pepper in a food processor. Add remaining ingredients and process until smooth.
Take a spoon and spread the corn mixture on the teflex-lined dehydrator trays. You should have enough mixture for two or three trays.
Dehydrate at 110 degrees for about 5 hours.
Flip the teflex sheet over onto the tray and carefully pull away from tortillas.
Using a pizza cutter, score the tortilla in 3-inch strips (approximately 3 long strips) length-wise, then score every four inches across. You should have approximately 9 strips of rectangles.
Dehydrate for another 2 hours until tortilla is completely dry on both sides but still pliable.
To assemble taquitos, spread cheese on the end of one tortilla strip, spoon spinach/pepper mixture on top of cheese and roll tortilla tightly to prevent it from opening.
Secure with a toothpick, if necessary.
Put taquitos in dehydrator at 110 degrees for 8-12 hours or until they are crisp on the outside.
Author's note:
I have waited forever to make these. I put the recipe on rawtestkitchen in July and I'm just getting around to making it. Whip up some sour cream , chopped avocado and enjoy!
HELP: Can someone tell me how to type my blog without the words gathering together, please, please, let me know. Because I type it the way I want it, then it changes. Thanks!
Have a great week!

Hey Teri, great recipe! Can't wait to go home and try them out.

You might want to look into using a 'client' to post your messages, instead of using the limited blogger.com interface. These clients most often offer better features, because they are desktop applications.

Your mileage may vary, but check these out:

The first part of the list is for Windows computers.. if you are on a Mac, there is a Mac OS X section.

PS: Still working on rawdenver and getting your recipes posted there too. So much to do, not enough time!

OMG!!! Those look simply divine!!! My hubby is salivating all over your blog, so perhaps I can persuade him to make them this weekend. HE is the "cook" in the family. (I'm the scullery maid!)
