roti tacos recipe | taco roti recipe | chapati tacos | leftover roti taco with detailed photo and video recipe. an easy and healthy alternative to finish the leftover chapati with mexican toppings. it is an ideal snack especially for kids who may not have the roti or chapati by itself but would enjoy this fancy way. it is not necessary to use leftover roti’s for this recipe and you may use freshly prepared chapati or even store-bought tacos.
i was planning to post this recipe for a long time now, but there was always some other priorities and other video posts. moreover, i was always with this confusion that mexican based recipes are not well appreciated by indian cuisine fans. hence i have not posted any authentic mexican cuisine recipes yet in my blog. having said that, i could see a trend lately of no-knead roti’s made with wheat batter. this is even further extended with tacos and hence i thought of sharing this recipe with leftover roti’s. i always get a lot of requests for leftover recipes, and this taco recipe is an ideal breakfast or even snack recipe for the next day.
furthermore, i would also like to add some additional tips, suggestions and variants to the chapati tacos recipe. firstly, i have used wheat flour-based phulka or roti which are small in size and ideal for tacos. but if you have chapati which is generally bigger in size, can also be used. secondly, there is no hard and fast rule to use just roti’s or chapati and you can use stuffed paratha too. in addition, you can also use store-bought hard and soft taco shells. lastly, avoid resting this snack once it is cooked as it may lose its shape and may turn soggy. on other hand, if you wish to have a soft taco, you may just stuff it and avoid roasting it completely.
finally, i request you to check my other related snacks recipes collection with this post of chapati tacos recipe. it mainly includes my other related recipes like roti pizza, chapati noodles, bread medu vada, rice cutlet, idli upma, rava cutlet, idli manchurian. further to these i would also like to highlight my other related recipes like,
