Baked Black Bean Taquitos

Adapted from: Naturally Ella who adapted it from a Whole Foods recipe :) Keepin' the love going.

Servings: 6-8 Taquitos

Ingredients

• 1/2 medium yellow onion finely diced
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1 small jalapeno de-seeded and finely diced
• 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 3/4 cup black beans drained and rinsed if using from a can
• 1/4-1/3 cup cilantro
• 6-8 white or yellow corn tortillas
• 1/2 cup Colby Jack, mozzarella, queso fresco, or Oaxaca cheese (i.e. whatever kind you like ;)
• Oil for brushing

Directions

• Pre-heat oven to 425˚ and bring a medium/large pot of water to a simmer.
• In a pan, heat oil over medium heat.  Saute onion and pepper until onion becomes translucent.  Stir in garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and continue to cook for 1-2 more minutes.  Add in black beans and cilantro, cooking until beans are heated through- two to three minutes more.
• Turn off pot of water.  Taking one corn tortilla at a time, dip in hot water for 3-4 seconds.  Place on a cutting board and scoop one spoonful of black bean filling and a hefty pinch of cheese on top.  Roll tight and place seam side down on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper.  Repeat until all the filling is used.  Brush each piece with oil.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes until the corn tortilla is a light brown color.  Dip in salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.

Deeelish!!!

We like to eat taquitos whilst playing games :) These are actually chipotle beef taquitos but hey, it's the only picture I had ;) These are divine too. I'll have to share the recipe later....
P.S. Don't worry, we are working on Job's shuffling skills
