These Baked Black Bean Taquitos are healthy and so tasty. Beans, veggies, lime juice, and spices, wrapped in a tortilla and baked to a golden brown, this dish is fantastic.

Ingredients

  • 2 cans (14 oz. each) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp. paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. cumin powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 tbsp. lime juice
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp. plant butter (or regular butter)
  • 12 6-inch flour tortillas
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil (for brushing)

Directions

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, simmer the beans, onion, garlic, veggie stock, and spices for 15 minutes, until the onion softens nicely and the liquid has almost evaporated.

  2. 2

    Add the plant butter, lime juice, and cilantro, and mash everything together with a potato masher.

  3. 3

    Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface and divide the bean mixture among the 12 tortillas (about 3 tablespoons for each). Roll up each tortilla tightly and place it seam side down.

  4. 4

    Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spread about 2 tablespoons of oil evenly across it.

  5. 5

    Place the taquitos seam side down on the baking tray, making sure that you are leaving at least 1/2 inch of space between each one.

  6. 6

    Using a pastry brush, brush a thin layer of oil on each taquito.

  7. 7

    Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, until the tortillas start to brown.
