Smoked Salmon taquitos with creamy sauce

This Recipe includes

Main ingredients:

	Smoked salmon – smoked salmon, tuna or trout all work well.

	Tortilla wraps – medium-sized flour or whole wheat tortilla wraps

Spices, herbs and ingredients for flavor:

	Greek yogurt – any type of plain greek yogurt sour cream, including full or low fat. You can also use sour cream, if you wish.
	Ricotta cheese
	Basil – dried or fresh basil
	Onion powder or flakes
	Parsley – fresh parsley leaves for flavor and scent
	Lemon juice – freshly squeezed lemon juice for flavor

Why we love it

If you are looking for a quick win, you can’t go wrong with these smoked salmon taquitos. Tucked into a creamy white sauce, they are light and refreshing, while still being quite filling. Perfect for breakfast or a light snack.

And that is not to say that you can’t enjoy them for a take-away lunch or even dinner! It is simply one of those dishes that no one can say no to.

The smoky, rich notes of the salmon perfectly complement the crispness of the tortilla. And the creamy garlic greek yogurt sauce adds a freshness and smoothness that brings it all together.

Now, you can prepare these in the oven or in the air fryer, if you have one handy. The air fryer cooks it faster, so I’ve included temperature instructions for it as well so that you don’t end up overcooking them. (You can also get my recipe for bacon and egg taquitos here.)

What to serve with it?

This delicious salmon taquitos in a white sauce can be served by itself, or with a salad like this bacon egg and potato salad or this savory cake.

You can also serve it with a side like this air fryer sweet potato chips or eggplant cubes.

How to store it?

You can easily prepare these salmon taquitos a few hours in advance, and leave it in the fridge.

When ready to eat, you can eat it as is or warm it back up in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
