Corn Black Bean Taquitos are so easy to make, and have the very best cheesy bean and corn filling! Taquitos ready in 25 minutes, served with an amazing spicy green goddess sauce!
Corn Black Bean Taquitos:
These taquitos can be made year round with frozen, or even canned corn! But, right now corn is sweet, fresh, and the shining star of this dish to me! It’s a fun change up from our regular Ground Beef Tacos during the week. This is a light but hearty meal that’s nice and flavorful. The filling is a mixture of black beans, corn, cheese, salsa, and spices! Probably things that you already have on hand, keeping it simple! For me, the real shining star is the dipping sauce! It is kind of a green goddess style dressing but, made with a kick! It comes together fast too, just whip it up while the taquitos bake. It’s a simple mixture of yogurt, cilantro, lime, jalapeno, and garlic. You can of course skip the sauce. These are great served with Pico De Gallo or Guacamole, or whatever your favorite salsa is!
Recipe Notes and Tips:
- If you want to add meat to this recipe, you can! I’d recommend trying our Crockpot Taco Meat. It keeps the recipe even more hands off and simple to make come dinner time.
- If you decide to add meat, you can leave out the beans, or corn, or just mix it all together. Keep in mind that the addition of meat will increase the recipe, so you will need extra tortillas!
- For tortillas, I typically stick with flour. However, you can use corn, or even a lower carb/fat tortilla if you wish. For best results, I warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 10 seconds before rolling the taquitos. If using corn tortillas, definitely warm them first to prevent breaking.
- These taquitos freeze like a charm! Make these ahead! You can bake as directed, allow them to cool down, then freeze in a zip top bag for up to 3 months. Warm them in the microwave or oven on low for an easy lunch or dinner.
Enjoy!
