How to Make Oven Crisp Black Bean And Corn Flautas

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until softened.
  3. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  4. Stir in 2 (15-ounce) cans black beans (rinsed and drained), 2 tablespoons chili powder, and 1 cup water.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the liquid has evaporated.
  6. Remove from heat and mash the beans slightly with a potato masher until thickened but still chunky.
  7. Stir in 1 cup salsa (your favorite!), 1 cup frozen corn (thawed), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Let the mixture cool completely.
  9. Preheat oven to 435°F (225°C).
  10. Lightly coat two large baking sheets with cooking spray.
  11. Warm 12 corn or flour tortillas individually in a dry skillet or microwave for easier rolling (optional).
  12. Spoon 1/3 cup of the black bean mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
  13. Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick.
  14. Place the flautas seam-down on the prepared baking sheets.
  15. Bake for 6-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  16. While the flautas bake, combine 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and 1/2 cup salsa in a small bowl.
  17. Serve 2 flautas per plate, topped with the cilantro-salsa mixture and extra salsa or guacamole, if desired.
