baked taquitos

These oven baked flautas are filled with a zesty refried bean and cheese filling! Similar to taquitos, they can be made with either flour or corn tortillas.

Easy Baked Flautas (Taquitos!)

green onions

refried beans, Homemade Refried Beans or vegetarian canned refried beans

chili powder

cheddar cheese

flour

olive oil,

kosher salt,

For dipping: easy guacamole, salsa,

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (necessary for cleanup!).

If you&#8217;re using canned refried beans, take a taste and determine whether they&#8217;re well seasoned. If not, add a few pinches of kosher salt and cumin. If you&#8217;re using our Homemade Refried Beans, they&#8217;ll be perfectly seasoned and you can skip this step.

In a large bowl, mix together the green onion, refried beans, salsa, chili powder, and shredded cheese.

Optional step: If you&#8217;re using 100% corn tortillas, you may want to pan fry each one in a skillet with a drizzle of olive oil (or without in a dry pan) to prevent cracking and help them be easier to work with. Every tortilla brand is different, so if your tortillas seem brittle it&#8217;s helpful to heat them before rolling. You can do this with corn tortillas too!

Lay a tortilla on a work surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the bean mixture in a dollop onto the bottom half of the tortilla. Be careful not to use too much!  Tightly roll the tortilla from the bottom (the filling will spread out and hold the tortilla together). Place the flauta seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.

When the flautas are assembled, brush the tops with oil and sprinkle them with a bit of salt. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until crisp and browned. Some of the beans will come out the ends of the rolls, which is expected (enough filling will remain to perfectly flavor them!). Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. Freezing instructions: Cool the flautas to room temperature, then freeze in a sealed container. To reheat, bake in a 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until warmed through.

How to Make Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken Taquitos

These chicken taquitos are stuffed with seasoned shredded chicken and cheese, then baked or fried to crispy perfection. Serve these taquitos with your favorite dipping sauces for a fun party snack or meal!

Chicken Taquitos (Baked or Fried)

chicken

salt and pepper

garlic powder

cumin

Monterey Jack cheese

corn tortillas

oil if frying

cooking spray

Place the chicken, salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese in a bowl. Stir until combined.

Wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and place on a plate. Microwave for 1 minute or until tortillas are warm and pliable.

Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface and divide the chicken and cheese mixture among the 12 tortillas. Roll up each tortilla tightly and secure with a toothpick.

To fry the taquitos: Heat 3/4 inch of oil in a deep pan to 350 degrees F. Add 3-4 taquitos and fry until crisp and golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Repeat with remaining taquitos.

To bake the taquitos: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place the taquitos in a single layer on a sheet pan coated with cooking spray. Spray the tops of the taquitos with the cooking spray. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.

Remove toothpicks, then serve.

Easy Baked Vegan Taquitos

Vegan Taco Meat (tap

flour corn

½ cups shredded vegan cheese (about 2 oz; see Notes for oil-free)

refried pinto or black beans

baby spinach, optional

sour cream

cilantro

lime wedges

Prep

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 C), and line a baking pan with parchment. If you have an oven-proof metal rack, place that on top.

Heat

If the taco meat was made in advance and is cold from the refrigerator, warm it briefly in the microwave or in a small pot on the stove. It doesn&#039;t need to be piping hot, just warm.

Fill

Lay a tortilla out flat, and spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans horizontally across the middle. Spoon about 1/3 to 1/2 cup taco meat on top of the beans, and gently pack it down. Lay a few pieces of spinach on top of the meat, then sprinkle with cheese.

Roll

Roll up tightly, and place seam side-down on the baking rack (or directly on the parchment if not using a rack). Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Bake

Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until hot and crisp. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings. See Notes for storage and re-heating.
