This mouthwatering Mexican street snack is famously named Vampiros because the tortilla is shaped like a batwing after being toasted or grilled. Let’s learn how to make this rich recipe.

Notes & Tips

  • These should be consumed immediately as the juicy filling makes the tortilla too mushy if not eaten right away. Also part of why it’s so good.
  • You can use other kinds of tortilla wrap like flour tortilla or whole grain tortilla if corn tortilla is not available.
  • Coconut aminos can be used instead of soy sauce to make this soy-free.
  • You can grill or use panini grill in assembling tacos for toastier flavor.
