Instructions
- Drain and rinse your black beans and gently combine with refried beans, grated cheese, chili powder, cumin, and salt.
- Want them spicy? Feel free to add hot sauce, minced jalapeno peppers, or even ground cayenne pepper to the mix.
- Heat a large skillet to medium heat with 1-2 Tablespoons of oil.
- While the skillet heats up, place 3 corn tortillas on a plate with a damp paper towel over them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to steam the tortillas and prevent cracking.
- Add 2 Tablespoons of filling to each tortilla and roll tightly. Place in the hot oil, seam side down. Cook on each side until golden and toasty, then transfer to a small stack of dry paper towels.
- Working in batches, repeat for remaining taquitos, working with just 3 at a time for best results. Add extra oil, as needed to the skillet for remaining batches.
- Serve while hot and crispy with salsa and sour cream or your choice of dippers.
Notes
- I like using avocado oil for its high smoke point and mild, buttery flavor. Feel free to use your favorite frying oil here based on availability/preference.
- TORTILLA TIP: Some corn tortillas are more likely to fall apart than others. I've found that for softer varieties, there's a softer side and a firmer side to the tortilla. You can usually tell the firmer side based on faint stripe-like indentations on the tortilla. Use that side for the outside of your taquito and the softer inner side to place your filling before rolling. I have the best results this way!
