Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn or flour tortillas
  • Oil for frying or baking
  • Optional toppings: avocado, salsa, or vegan sour cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, mash the black beans lightly, then add corn, bell pepper, onion, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  2. Fill the Tortillas: Take a tortilla and add a few tablespoons of the black bean mixture to the center. Roll it tightly and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  3. Cook the Taquitos: For frying, heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the taquitos until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes. For baking, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), place taquitos on a greased baking sheet, and bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  4. Serve: Remove from heat and serve hot with your favorite toppings like avocado, salsa, or vegan sour cream.
