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 towels and microwave for 15-20 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. If needed, use a toothpick to hold the taquito secure and remove it after baking.

Place the taquitos seam-side down on a foil-lined cookie sheet, spray the tops lightly with cooking oil and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Warm Your Tortillas First 🔥
Steam or warm corn tortillas for 30 seconds before rolling to make them pliable and prevent cracking, ensuring tight, secure taquitos that hold their filling.
Drain and Dry Your Filling 💧
Thoroughly drain canned black beans and thaw frozen corn, then pat dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture that would make taquitos soggy instead of crispy.
Seam-Side Down for Crispiness 📍
Place taquitos with the seam-side down on your baking sheet so the sealed edge toasts against the hot pan, creating maximum crispiness and preventing them from unrolling.
Toast Your Spices First ✨
Bloom the garlic powder and cumin in a dry skillet for 30 seconds before mixing into your filling to intensify their flavors and eliminate any raw spice taste.
Double-Spray Technique 💨
Spray taquitos with cooking oil both before and halfway through baking for even browning and superior crispiness without deep frying.
