25 Of The Most AMAZING Takis Recipes On The Internet (2024)

Designed to imitate the Taquito, Takis (formerly known as Taquis before being changed in 2004) are a delicious tortilla chip snack, rolled up, deep fried and coated in intense spicy flavors.

If you’re obsessed with their taste but wondering how to incorporate that awesomeness into other meals, look no further.

We’ve got TWENTY FIVE different recipes for you would-be cooks to try out, each completed perfectly by one of America’s favorite snack foods.

Before I get started, a quick disclaimer: It seems that quite a few of the aspiring chefs whose recipes I have featured prefer to use a different brand of chips to these Mexican delights, but naturally, you can swap their choice out for Takis and have just the same delicious end result.

1. Takis Fuego Fried Chicken

3. Takis Mozzarella Sticks

Some days, you might find yourself wondering: how can you improve on the perfection that is deep fried cheese.

8. Takis Burrito

Takis and burritos: two Mexican classics that are now beloved the world over. The only way you could possibly enjoy either separate dish anymore is by combining them together for the ultimate treat.

Sometimes your burrito can feel a little repetitive, with all the ingredients becoming one soft mush: not this time.

9. Takis Microwave Ramen

11. Takis Fried Jalapeno Poppers

Some of the best and most inventive food there is has been born from pairing cuisines up, like the Tex-Mex classic that is Jalapeno Poppers.

But how about you level those up significantly by coating them in Takis before you drop them in the fryer? Go on, just do it.

12. Real Healthy Takis

Now, this is a curveball, but hear me out: if you’ve found yourself eating way too many packets of Takis lately you could enjoy their flavor without feeling the effects on your stomach by giving these homemade imitators a go.

Of course, nothing beats the original, but it beats going cold turkey right?

No bland fake meats here.

Definitely one to bookmark in the back of your brain for the morning after a hot date.

17. Takis Cheese Fries

Not that it’s possible to get sick of cheese fries – the combination of potato and any kind of ooey gooey goodness is one that’s been around for generations – but there’s no reason you can’t mix things up a little bit and try something new.

18. Takis Mac and Cheese

Some say it’s impossible to improve on perfection: I say, have you considered making yourself some Takis mac and cheese?

The crispy, crunchy coating they create completely transforms the dish in a way you won’t be expecting.

19. Takis Grilled Cheese

An American diner classic, brought to life with just a sprinkling of crushed Takis dust. Not only does it taste amazing, but it would still pair perfectly with a bowl of tomato soup.

This is definitely a winter warmer that you and the whole family will want to enjoy all year round!

20. Takis Covered French Fries

Forget chilli cheese fries. Those make your crunchy, golden potatoes go all soggy and sad. Now you can get the spicy, crispy fries of your dreams, simply by substituting one Mexican classic for another.

21. DIY Giant Takis

Has the idea of eating a Taki the size of your forearm ever crossed your mind? No? Why not?! Satisfy all of your cravings with just a single chip, and be telling the truth when you say you “only had one” so you “couldn’t possibly have spoiled your dinner.” It’s the perfect crime!

22. Takis Hot Dogs

A backyard barbecue classic transformed! The soft white bun, meaty hot dog and caramelised onions of your youth taste just as phenomenal as you remember, but even better when you throw some Takis into the mix.

Because of course they do! You could probably do without the ketchup and mustard though.

23. Takis Onion Rings

Onion rings are one of life’s simplest pleasures and a beloved bar snack around the world. Deep fried, battered vegetables are, surprise surprise, preferable to the boiled up green ones, made even better with Takis!
