Flautas de Frijoles

Flautas de Frijoles are crispy rolled tortillas filled with savory black beans and topped with fresh ingredients, offering a delightful vegetarian option that’s both satisfying and flavorful. Baked until golden, these flautas are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun appetizer.

Ingredients

• Corn tortillas - 4 units
• Canned black beans - 200 grams (drained and rinsed)
• Onion - 1 small (finely chopped)
• Garlic - 2 cloves (minced)
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons (chopped)
• Sour cream - 2 tablespoons (for serving)
• Avocado - 1 small (sliced, for serving)
• Lime - 1 (cut into wedges, for serving)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the drained black beans, cumin, chili powder, and salt to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes, mashing some of the beans with a fork to create a chunky filling.
4. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in chopped cilantro.
5. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
6. Place about 2 tablespoons of the bean mixture in the center of each tortilla and roll them tightly into a flauta shape.
7. Place the flautas seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
9. Serve hot, garnished with slices of avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and lime wedges on the side.
