Vegan Oven Baked Taquitos

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 24 taquitos

Ingredients

  • 24 6-in corn tortillas
  • 1 red onion diced small
  • 5 cloves garlic crushed and minced
  • 2 cans black beans drained
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp sea salt or more to taste
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups cooked corn
  • 4 oz can diced green chiles drained
  • 16 oz salsa divided
  • Avocados sliced for topping
  • Cilantro optional for topping
  • Hot sauce optional for topping

Instructions

  1. Set a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add red onion and cook for 3 minutes, or until they begin to become translucent. Add garlic, and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant. Transfer onion and garlic to a bowl for later.
  2. Add the beans, chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and 1 cup water to the pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low, and simmer for 20 minutes, or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  3. Remove from heat. Mash the beans until only some remain whole. Add 1 cup of the salsa along with the corn, green chiles, and the cooked onion and garlic. Mix together and set aside to cool.
  4. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Spoon ~1/3 cup of the filling down the center of each corn tortilla. Tightly wrap tortillas* around filling and set on the prepared baking sheet, loose edge down.
  6. If you want to get added crisp, you can lightly brush them with oil (optional). Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until tortillas are browned and crisp.
  7. To serve, plate 2 taquitos and top with extra salsa, sliced avocado, and a little cilantro.

Recipe Notes

When using corn tortillas, you may need to warm them up for a few seconds before trying to make the taquito. Otherwise it might tear when wrapping them.
