Instructions

  1. Simple Directions:

    *Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

    1. In medium skillet, add oil and finely diced garlic to pan. Heat on medium heat until garlic begins to sizzle.
    2. Stir in rinsed & drained black beans, and taco seasoning.
    3. Once mixed well, add in diced onions & bell pepper. Cook until mixture begins to meld together. This usually takes 8-10 minutes on medium to medium-high heat.
    4. Taste mixture, and add in salt and pepper to taste. Stir once added.
    5. Begin filling each tortilla with a large spoonful of the bean and veggie mixture, and add in some cheese. Roll taquitos however you see fit, but do so to ensure that the filling stays inside.
    6. Place rolled taquitos into an oven safe dish, lined with parchment paper.
    7. Bake taquitos in 400 degree oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until browned to your liking.
    8. Serve with salsa and guacamole!

    Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. These taquitos can be made, cooled and frozen for up to 6 months.

    To Freeze: Cook fully and allow to completely cool. Wrap in freezer paper and plastic wrap, and place into Freezer bags.
