These BBQ Black Bean Taquitos are filled with barbecue seasoned black beans and lots of melty cheese then topped with barbecue sauce and Cole slaw for the ultimate Tex-Mex faceplant!
1.5cupsgrated cheese(pepper jack, cheddar, or mex blend)
86-7 inch flour tortillas
3TBSPavocado oil or favorite frying oilas needed
1/2-1cupcoleslawfor serving
Instructions
Drain and rinse your black beans and add barbecue sauce, chili powder, and salt. Coarsely mash with a fork, leaving a mixture of whole and mashed beans.
Heat a large skillet to medium heat with 1-2 Tablespoons of oil.
While the skillet heats up, place 2 corn tortillas on a plate and microwave for 10-15 seconds to steam the tortillas and allow easy rolling.
Add approx 2 TBSP of filling to each tortilla, top with a hearty sprinkle of cheese (I like mine extra cheesy!), and roll tightly. Repeat for remaining tortillas.
Place in the hot oil, seam side down. Cook 3 at a time on each side until golden and toasty, then transfer to a small stack of dry paper towels. Add extra oil, as needed to the skillet for remaining taquitos.
Serve while hot with an extra drizzle of bbq sauce on top (optional but tasty) and coleslaw. Ranch or blue cheese dressing make a great optional dip or you can top your taquitos with a drizzle of sour cream too!
Notes
I like using avocado oil for its high smoke point and mild, buttery flavor. Feel free to use your favorite frying oil here based on availability/preference.Prefer to use soft corn tortillas in place of flour? You totally can! Place 2-3 corn tortillas on a plate with a damp paper towel over them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds to steam the tortillas and help prevent tortillas from cracking while rolling.
