Vegetarian baked taquitos

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup cooked black beans
  • 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

Steps:

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.*

Place the taquitos seam-side down on a foil-lined cookie sheet, spray the tops lightly with cooking oil and bake for 25 minutes.

* If needed, use a toothpick to hold the taquito secure and remove it after baking.
