Baked Pizza Taquitos

This easy to eat finger food is filling enough to act as a meal replacement when you’re travelling by car or plane. Feel free to prepare these the day before you leave, storing the unbaked taquitos in the refrigerator, covered in plastic wrap. Pop them in the oven just before you’re ready to go, making sure you leave enough time for them to cool before packing in a lidded container.
