Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes
Servings 10 taquitos

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 red or yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 can green chiles
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
  • 10-12 corn or wheat tortillas

salty lime yogurt

  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1/2 tsp flaky sea salt, or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Toss the cheeses together in a bowl to combine. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tbsp olive or avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Saute garlic and onion for 3-4 minutes until fragrant. Stir in chili powder, cumin, oregano, and cilantro for 1 additional minute. Pour in black beans, chiles, and 1/2 cup water. Simmer 10 minutes until most of the water evaporates. Stir in lime juice.
  • Heat tortillas in the microwave for 30-45 seconds until pliable. Rub each tortilla on both sides with olive oil and set on a flat, clean work surface. Add about 2 tbsp of the cheese mix to the upper third of the tortilla. Spoon 1 tbsp black beans atop. Roll the tortilla tightly from top to bottom and press gently to seal the seam. Transfer to a baking sheet, seam-side down. Repeat with all remaining tortillas and fillings.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes on one side, then flip and bake an additional 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the yogurt. Mix the yogurt, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt until thoroughly combined.
  • Serve taquitos with additional lime juice, yogurt, and salsa, as desired.
