Ingredients

The following ingredients have 9 Servings
  • 1 cup black beans (, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup vegetarian refried beans
  • 1-1.5 cup grated pepper jack cheese (or cheddar cheese)
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 9 soft corn tortillas
  • 3 TBSP avocado oil (or favorite frying oil, as needed)

Instruction

  • Drain and rinse your black beans and gently combine with refried beans, grated cheese, chili powder, cumin, and salt.
  • Want them spicy? Feel free to add hot sauce, minced jalapeno peppers, or even ground cayenne pepper to the mix.
  • Heat a large skillet to medium heat with 1-2 Tablespoons of oil.
  • While the skillet heats up, place 3 corn tortillas on a plate with a damp paper towel over them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to steam the tortillas and prevent cracking.
  • Add 2 Tablespoons of filling to each tortilla and roll tightly. Place in the hot oil, seam side down. Cook on each side until golden and toasty, then transfer to a small stack of dry paper towels.
  • Working in batches, repeat for remaining taquitos, working with just 3 at a time for best results. Add extra oil, as needed to the skillet for remaining batches.
  • Serve while hot and crispy with salsa and sour cream or your choice of dippers.
