Corn kernels and Black Bean Taquitos Recipe

Corn tortillas are tightly rolled around a cheesy corn and black bean mixture and baked until crisp. They’re quick, delicious and so easy to make. And did you catch the best part? They’re baked, not fried! So not only are they healthier than the traditional fried version, but they still have that crispy crunch when you bite into them!,The filling can even be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge so you can make dinner in a flash. They also freeze beautifully as well. Prepare them up to baking and the place in the freezer until firm, then wrap in plastic wrap. When you are ready to eat just place on a baking sheet and bake..no need to thaw! Talk about easy! ..

  add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and

  chili powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute; stir in beans and cook until heated

  through, about 1 minute. Return corn to skillet and toss to combine; gently press mixture

  with spatula to lightly crush black beans. Transfer mixture a medium bowl, stir in 

  jalapeños and lime juice.

3. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

  Warm tortillas according to package directions until soft and pliable. Spoon 2 tablespoons

  of filling and 1 tablespoon of cheese onto the lower third of each tortilla and roll tightly.

  Place seam side-down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  Spray the taquitos lightly with cooking spray, sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake 15-18
