Ingredients

1/2 cup cooked black beans (if using canned, rinse and drain first)
1/2 cup frozen corn kernels, defrosted
1 cup shredded mexican blend cheese
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
12 corn tortillas
cooking oil spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400° F.
Place the beans, corn, cheese, cumin, garlic powder, and salt in a bowl and stir to combine
Place two corn tortillas at a time in between two sheets of damp paper towels and microwave for 15-20 seconds to loosen (this will prevent the tortillas from cracking when they are rolled).
With one tortilla in front of you place 2 tablespoons of the mixture on the side closest to you and roll it up. If needed, use a toothpick to hold the taquito secure and remove it after baking.
Place the taquitos seam-side down on a foil-lined cookie sheet, spray the tops lightly with cooking oil and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Notes

- Warm your tortillas: To make the tortillas more pliable (and prevent cracks!) place two tortillas at a time between wet paper towels and microwave for 20 seconds before adding the filling and rolling up the taquitos.
- Don’t overfill: It might be tempting, but a modest amount of filling keeps them intact while baking.
- Use a wire rack on your baking sheet if you want them extra crispy all around.
- To Air Fry: Skip the oven and air fry at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them so they don’t over-brown.
- Batch prep and freeze: After step four, place the filled taquitos, seam side down, on a baking sheet or in a baking dish, and place that in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Then, transfer the frozen taquitos to a zipper bag for up to 4 months.
- To Reheat from Frozen: Place the frozen taquitos in a 400°F oven for 25-30 minutes! Or air fry at 375°F for 10-12 minutes.
