Avocado Black Bean Taquitos
These crispy, oven-baked taquitos are filled with a creamy blend of avocado and black beans, seasoned with cumin and garlic for a bold, savory flavor. Rolled in corn tortillas and baked to golden perfection, they’re topped with a fresh, zesty Pico de Gallo and a dollop of Greek yogurt for a healthy twist on a classic favorite. Rich in heart-healthy fats, plant-based protein, and fiber, this dish also provides a boost of potassium, vitamin C, and antioxidants—making it as nutritious as it is delicious.
- 1 ripe, fresh avocado halved, pitted, peeled and mashed
- 1/2 cup of canned black beans rinsed
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 10 6-inch corn tortillas
- 1 cup rainbow cherry tomatoes chopped
- 1/2 cup red or yellow bell peppers seeded and diced
- 1/2 cup fresh jalapeño seeded and minced
- 1 tbsp onion minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves chopped
- 1/2 cup plain, non-fat Greek yogurt (4 oz)
Using a fork, mash the avocado and black beans together in a bowl. Stir in cumin, garlic powder and salt.
Spread approximately two tbsp. of the mixture onto a corn tortilla, dividing equally between 10 tortillas. Roll tightly to form 10 taquitos.
Place taquitos into the oven at 400°F for 15-20 minutes. Halfway during the baking process, flip the taquitos and place them back into the oven for the remaining baking time.
While taquitos are cooking, combine cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeño, onion, cilantro and lime juice in a small bowl to make fresh Pico de Gallo.
Once taquitos are golden brown and crispy, remove them from oven and top with fresh Pico de Gallo and Greek yogurt.
