Put away the oil, because these taquitos just need a few minutes in the oven to get crispy and delicious. Gooey pepper jack cheese, cumin-spiced black beans and veggies make them a go-to weeknight meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bell peppers and squash to the pan. Saute for 5-6 minutes, or until just tender, stirring occasionally.
Add the cumin, smoked paprika, hot sauce and black beans to the pan. Season to taste with salt. Saute for 2-3 minutes or until heated through, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and toss with the cheese.
Place 2-3 tablespoons of the bean and veggie mixture down the center of each tortilla and roll up. If needed, microwave the tortillas for about 30 seconds to make them soft and pliable enough to roll. Place on a baking sheet. Spray the taquitos with cooking spray, then sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm
Notes
Zucchini or summer squash can be substituted for the pattypan squash. Feel free to add more or less hot sauce, to taste.
