Baked black bean taquito recipe

Yields 6 taquitos

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon avocado oil
• 1/2 cup rinsed black beans
• 1/2 cup frozen corn
• 1/3 cup chopped red bell peppers
• 1/3 cup chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
• 1 clove minced garlic
• 6 medium flour tortillas
• 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
2. In a large skillet add avocado oil. Heat over medium heat until hot. Add black beans, corn, bell pepper, onion, cilantro, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook for about 8 minutes until vegetables are starting to soften but do not let them brown.
3. Add in garlic and let cook for a few more moments until fragrant.
4. Take pan off the heat and get ready to fill flour tortillas.
5. Lay out tortillas, divide filling equally between the tortillas, top with equal amount of cheese and roll tightly. Lay the taquitos, seam side up, onto a parchment lined baking sheet and stick a toothpick into the taquito so it will stay closed.
6. Lightly brush a little oil onto the tortilla so it will crisp.
7. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until crispy on the outside and cheese is melted on the inside.
8. Serve warm and dip into avocado sour cream dip.
