Ingredients

  • ½ medium yellow onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 small jalapeno
  • ½ tablespoon sunflower oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ cup black beans
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • 6-8 corn tortillas
  • ½ cup Colby Jack Cheese
  • Sunflower oil for brushing

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400˚F.
  • In a food processor, combine black beans, sweet corn, pepper, onion, spices, cilantro, and cheese. Pulse three to four times until ingredients are slightly combined-this is just to chop slightly.
  • Heat tortillas until pliable (good instructions here). Next, scoop 2 to 3 tablespoon of the filling onto the third of the tortilla closest to you. Roll the edge closest to you over the filling and tuck tightly. Then, continue to roll and place the taquito seam side down on a baking tray. Stick with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with remaining filling.
  • Brush with olive oil and bake for 18 to 22 minutes until tortillas are browning and crisp. Remove, top with cilantro and queso fresco, and serve.
