Equipment

Instructions

Prepare Taquitos:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
  • Add black beans, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt, plus 1 tablespoon water to a medium bowl. Mash until about ¾ smooth.
  • Stir corn and cheddar into black beans. Season with hot sauce (and more salt, if desired) to taste.
  • To heat tortillas, you'll need 2 square pieces of paper towel. Wet one, then squeeze out excess water. (It should be damp, not wet.)
  • Place 4 tortillas on the damp paper towel, then wrap it around them. Set the wrapped tortillas on the dry paper towel, then wrap it around the tortillas, as well.
  • Microwave tortillas for about 30 seconds or until hot.
  • Place a softened tortillas on a flat surface (keep the others wrapped until ready to use), then top with a line of black beans on the bottom third.
  • Roll up tortilla and place seam side down on baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining ingredients, then brush taquitos with olive oil.
  • Bake taquitos for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until lightly browned and crisp.

Prepare Avocado Cream:

  • While taquitos cook, add avocado, sour cream, and lime juice to a food processor. Process until smooth, then season to taste with salt.

Serving:

  • Sprinkle taquitos with your choice of toppings, then serve with Avocado Cream for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

The Avocado Cream also makes a great topping for tacos, enchiladas, or any Mexican food. To make it spicy, blend in some roasted chiles (such as jalapeño, poblano, or hatch) or hot sauce. If you don't have a food processor, mash the ingredients together by hand.
