These Crab Rangoon Taquitos are a Creative Twist to Traditional Crab Rangoon!
Want to mix things up mix things up a little, but still use flavors everyone knows and loves?
Crab rangoon taquitos to the rescue!
This fun appetizer is a unique combination of everyone’s favorite finger foods — crab rangoon and taquitos!
We even get a little fancy and add a fresh raspberry and jalapeno salsa for dipping.
Not only does it add color and flair, but the sweet and sour flavor combo in the salsa complements the cheese-filled, baked taquitos.
Oh, did I forget to mention that part earlier?
The taquitos are baked, so you can make them all at once while you wrap up other important party or meal details.
Start by making the salsa, which can be made up to a day in advance.
I’d recommend at least an hour in advance so you give the flavors time to blend. Plus, no one likes warm salsa…we want a chilled bowl of salsa every time!
And the salsa recipe is a cinch to make!
Simply combine all the ingredients in a bowl and use a basic potato masher to create a nice chunky salsa.
Or you can cheat, like I do sometimes, and toss it all in your blender and pulse a few seconds.
I’m all about easy recipes!
Cover and refrigerate that gorgeous salsa until you’re ready to serve.
