Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 12 taquitos
Ingredients
- 12 small tortillas
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup black beans
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by draining and rinsing black beans, shredding cheese, and measuring out spices.
- Warm a large skillet over medium heat and crack eggs into the pan. Scramble eggs gently, breaking them into small pieces while cooking.
- Add cumin to the scrambled eggs and stir to distribute the spice evenly throughout the egg mixture.
- Once eggs are fully cooked but still moist, remove from heat and let cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
- Warm tortillas briefly in a separate skillet or microwave to make them more pliable for rolling.
- Lay out each tortilla and spread a thin layer of black beans across the center of the tortilla.
- Add scrambled eggs on top of the black beans, then sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs.
- Drizzle a small amount of salsa over the cheese for added flavor.
- Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a taquito shape, tucking in the sides to prevent filling from falling out.
- Heat a clean skillet with a light coating of oil over medium-high heat.
- Place taquitos seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove taquitos from skillet and let rest on a paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- Serve hot with additional salsa, sour cream, or your preferred dipping sauce.
Tips
