Baked Taquitos
Traditionally, taquitos are tortillas rolled up around a filling of beef, chicken and/or cheese and then deep-fried until crispy. You can get them at Mexican restaurants or in the freezer section of the supermarket, but making them yourself is incredibly easy (and relatively inexpensive).
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans drained
- ½ cup corn frozen
- 1 cup mexican blend cheese shredded
- 1 tsp cumin
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 24 corn tortillas
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 towel and microwave for 20-30 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 TAQUITO secure and remove it after baking.
