Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed Black beans
- 1 cup, canned or thawed if frozen Corn
- 1 cup Shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 0.5 cup Salsa
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 8 small Flour tortillas
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) Cilantro
- 1 for serving (optional) Sour cream or guacamole
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans, corn, shredded cheese, salsa, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Lay one flour tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the black bean and corn mixture onto the lower third of the tortilla, spreading it into a horizontal strip.
Carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside. Place the rolled flauta seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Lightly spray the tops of the flautas with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden and crispy. Flip them halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
Remove the flautas from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve warm with sour cream, guacamole, or your favorite dipping sauces.
