BBQ Black Bean Taquitos
Description
The recipe for BBQ Black Bean Taquitos starts with mashing drained black beans combined with barbecue sauce, chili powder, salt, and pepper, creating a smoky and seasoned filling. Flour tortillas are briefly steamed to allow easy rolling before being filled with the bean mixture and a generous amount of grated cheese. The taquitos are then pan-fried in avocado oil until both sides are golden and crisp. The result is a crunchy exterior with a savory, cheesy interior featuring a blended texture of whole and mashed beans.
These taquitos are served hot, often accompanied by coleslaw which adds a crisp, fresh contrast. Additional barbecue sauce can be drizzled on top, and dips like ranch, blue cheese dressing, or sour cream can be served alongside to complement the smoky filling. This makes them versatile for snacks, casual appetizers, or part of a light meal.
The recipe notes suggest using avocado oil for its mild, buttery flavor and high smoke point, but any preferred frying oil can be substituted. For those who prefer corn tortillas, steaming several at once with a damp paper towel in the microwave helps soften them to prevent cracking during rolling. Nutrition information per taquito is estimated and can be adjusted for serving sizes and ingredient variations.
Ingredients
- 1 can black beans (15 oz - drained and rinsed)
- 3-4 TBSP barbecue sauce , plus extra for topping
- ½ tsp chili powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1.5 cups cheese pepper jack, cheddar, or mex blend, grated
- 8 flour tortillas 6-7 inch
- 3 TBSP avocado oil as needed, or favorite frying oil
- 1/2-1 cup coleslaw for serving
Instructions
- Drain and rinse your black beans and add barbecue sauce, chili powder, and salt. Coarsely mash with a fork, leaving a mixture of whole and mashed beans.
- Heat a large skillet to medium heat with 1-2 Tablespoons of oil.
- While the skillet heats up, place 2 corn tortillas on a plate and microwave for 10-15 seconds to steam the tortillas and allow easy rolling.
- Add approx 2 TBSP of filling to each tortilla, top with a hearty sprinkle of cheese (I like mine extra cheesy!), and roll tightly. Repeat for remaining tortillas.
- Place in the hot oil, seam side down. Cook 3 at a time on each side until golden and toasty, then transfer to a small stack of dry paper towels. Add extra oil, as needed to the skillet for remaining taquitos.
- Serve while hot with an extra drizzle of bbq sauce on top (optional but tasty) and coleslaw. Ranch or blue cheese dressing make a great optional dip or you can top your taquitos with a drizzle of sour cream too!
Notes
- Use avocado oil or a frying oil with a high smoke point for crisp taquitos.
- Steam tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking; cover with a damp paper towel and microwave briefly.
- Serve with coleslaw and optional dips like ranch, blue cheese, or sour cream for contrast.
- Nutrition per taquito is estimated; adjust ingredients based on dietary needs.
