Crispy Baked Black Bean Taquitos

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel & small dice the onion.

Step 2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion & sauté for 1-2 min until slightly softened.

Step 3

Add in rinsed & drained black beans. Stir in taco seasoning & cook for 2-3 min until heated through. Mash the softened beans with the spoon. Remove from the heat.

Step 4

Dampen two paper towels & wrap them around the corn tortillas. Place the wrapped tortillas on a plate & heat in the microwave for 35-40 sec. This will soften the tortillas so they are able to roll up nicely!

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine sour cream, lime juice & a pinch of salt. Mix well until the sour cream is thinned out.

Step 6

Fill a softened tortilla with a few spoonfuls of the bean mixture. Top with shredded cheese & roll up tightly. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.

Step 7

Melt a few tbsp of butter in the microwave or in a small pan over low heat. Meanwhile, transfer all the taquitos to a parchment-lined sheet tray. Then brush each one with melted butter. Bake in the oven at 400°F for 25-30 min, flipping halfway through. The taquitos should be golden & crispy!

Step 8

Remove the crunchy taquitos from the oven. Serve drizzled with the creamy lime sauce & guacamole! Enjoy!
