Ingredients
  

  • 2 cans black beans 14 oz. each, drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 tsp pepper or to taste
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • ½ cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 tbsp plant butter or regular butter
  • 12 6-inch flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for brushing

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Spatula
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by heating the plant butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
  2. Add the drained and rinsed black beans to the skillet, along with the paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Pour in the vegetable broth and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. If the mixture becomes too thick, add a splash more broth.
  3. Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from heat and stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro. This will add a fresh burst of flavor to your filling.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven is heating, prepare your tortillas.
  5. Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Take a generous spoonful of the black bean mixture and place it in the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Once all the taquitos are assembled, brush the tops with olive oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. These Baked Black Bean Taquitos are best enjoyed warm, paired with your favorite dipping sauce like salsa or guacamole.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas.
  • Make ahead: Prepare the filling a day in advance.
  • Freeze uncooked taquitos for up to 3 months.
