•    1 red pepper, deseeded
•    1 yellow pepper, deseeded
•    140g tinned sweetcorn, drained
•    1 ½ tsp smoked paprika            
•    1 ½ garlic powder        
•    2 tsp oregano            
•    ½ tsp mild chilli powder        
•    ½ tsp salt            
•    150g cheddar cheese
•    16 flour tortillas, 10 cm    
•    2 Tbsp oil            

For the salsa:

•    3 tomatoes, deseeded and roughly chopped
•    1 Red pepper, deseeded and roughly chopped
•    ½ red onion, peeled and roughly chopped
•    Juice of 1 lime            
•    ½ tsp salt            

Method:

•    Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
•    Assemble the Food Processor bowl and line a large bowl with a tea towel.
•    Fit the Express Serve attachment with the grating disc and ensure it is locked into place.
•    Place the lined large bowl underneath the Express Serve attachment. 
•    Working in batches, grate the carrots, courgette and peppers into the bowl using the pusher on speed Min.
•    Squeeze as much water out of the vegetables as possible over a sink, then transfer the grated vegetables back into the large bowl.
•    Add the sweetcorn, spices and salt into the bowl, stir to combine and set aside.
•    Place a medium bowl underneath the Express Serve attachment. Grate the cheese into the bowl using the pusher on a medium speed, then remove the attachment from the machine.
•    Line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
•    Place the flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Add 3 Tbsp of the vegetable filling along the centre of each tortilla, then top with roughly 1 Tbsp of grated cheese.
•    Roll the tortillas up tightly and place on the lined baking tray, seam side down.
•    Brush each tortilla with a thin layer of oil. Bake for 30 minutes at 180ºC. 
•    Clean the Food Processor bowl and fit the Knife Blade. 
•    Add the tomatoes, red pepper, onion, lime juice and salt into the Food Processor bowl. Pulse until a coarse salsa has formed, roughly 20 seconds. 
•    Tip: Pulse for longer if you want a smoother consistency
•    The taquitos can be served warm or cold with the salsa. Alternatively, allow to cool and refrigerate in an air-tight container for up to 3 days.
