A vegetarian take on a classic Mexican dish. These delicious flautas are baked until crispy using cooking spray instead of vegetable oil to "fry" the tortillas. Topped with plain Greek yogurt for a wholesome and tasty alternative to sour cream.

Baked Black Bean and Spinach Flautas

serving cooking spray

(6 inch) corn tortillas,

black beans, rinsed and drained

spinach,

cilantro

(16 ounce) jar black bean and corn salsa

cumin

Monterey Jack cheese,

(6 ounce) container Greek yogurt

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.


Heat tortillas, 1 at a time, in a small skillet over medium heat until warm and soft, about 30 seconds per side.


Spray both sides of a tortilla with cooking spray. Spread about 1 tablespoon black beans down the middle, then top with spinach, about 1 teaspoon cilantro, 1 tablespoon salsa, and sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese and cumin. Roll the tortilla up and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat to form remaining flautas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.


Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt.


We liked these but there is room for improvement with the recipe. I made the recipe nearly as written. I could not find cilantro and omitted and used pepper jack cheese instead of Monterey Jack (due to Covid-19).  Taste-wise they were okay, no complaints.  Ingredient-wise, using what was listed I had enough to make 20 flautas with Spinach and 1 cup of Black Beans leftover (note-I measured the cheese directly from the bag so do not know how much I used).  If I were to make these again I'd cook the filling first, this would make it easier to get a good roll for the flautas.

I didn't really measure anything, but 2 cans of beans was waaaaayyyy too much. I ended up making an extra one to use up the rest of my spinach and cilantro and cheese. It was pretty good taste wise.

I used homemade tortillas (5") and filled about 19 of them with the filling as measured...and we had MORE than a can of beans left over. ONLY USE ONE CAN!
Other than using pepper jack cheese....we made them as suggested and they tasted great & the family loved them.
