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.*
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 TAQUITO secure and remove it after baking.
