Black Bean Taquitos

Black Bean Taquitos

Ingredients

12 corn tortillas 1 cup refried black beans (can substitute pinto or other beans) 1 1/2 cups light flavored olive oil salsa vegan guacamole vegan sour cream for dipping (optional)	Advertisements

Preparation
 

Heat olive oil in a pan at low or
med-low heat for 2 minutes or until
hot. It is important not to burn olive
oil. Keep the heat low enough that it
doesnt smoke.

Microwave 3 tortillas for 45 seconds.

Scoop 1 1 tablespoon of beans on each
tortilla (one at a time) and roll into
a thin taquito (about a inch
diameter).

Fry, 3 at a time, with tongs for
about 4 minutes, turning every minute.

Place on plate lined with paper
towel to drain excess grease.

While frying, microwave 3 more
tortillas and repeat.

Serve plain or with a dipping
sauce.

This dish is wonderful for making
large quantities and storing in the
freezer. I prefer reheating the
taquitos in the toaster oven (rather
than microwave), which gives them a
nice crispy texture.

Variations:

Cover the taquitos in enchilada
sauce and vegan cheese. Bake at 350 F
for 20 minutes to make yummy bean
enchiladas.

Mess around with different
fillings. Try tofu, bean, and/or
vegetable (like mushroom) mixtures.
