Description

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 ½ tablespoons lime juice
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 10 (6-inch) flour tortillas

Directions

Directions

In a medium saucepan, simmer the beans, onion, garlic, vegetable broth and spices for 15 minutes, until the onion softens and the liquid has almost evaporated. Add the butter, lime juice and cilantro, and mash everything together with a potato masher or fork. Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface and divide the bean mixture among the 10 tortillas (about 3 tablespoons for each). Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam side down on  a large baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving at least ½ inch of space between each one. Using a pastry brush, brush a thin layer of oil on each taquito. Bake at 400 F for 15-20 minutes, until the tortillas start to brown.
