Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Frozen chicken or beef taquitos
- 16 ounces Red enchilada sauce
- 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Canned corn kernels, drained
- 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 as desired Optional toppings: diced avocado, sliced jalapeños, salsa
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.
Pour 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the baking dish and spread evenly to create a thin layer.
Arrange the frozen taquitos in a single layer in the baking dish. Depending on the size of the dish, you may need to slightly overlap them.
Evenly pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the taquitos, ensuring they are fully coated.
Sprinkle the black beans and corn evenly over the taquitos, followed by 1 1/2 cups of the shredded Mexican blend cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese on top. Bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 5 minutes. Top with chopped green onions, cilantro, and any optional toppings like diced avocado, jalapeños, or salsa.
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on each portion. Enjoy your delicious Taquito Enchilada Bake!
