Rice and Bean Freezer Taquitos
Batch-prepare these delicious taquitos, then pull them out for a quick meal or snack.
Servings 25 taquitos
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked black beans
- 3 cups cooked rice
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 TBSP taco seasoning
- 2 TBSP tomato paste
- 2 TBSP lime juice
- 2 cups frozen corn
- salt to taste
- 25 corn tortillas
Instructions
- Stir all the filling ingredients together. Taste, and add additional salt, taco seasoning, or lime juice until it's just right.
- Warm up the corn tortillas by putting them in a clean, damp kitchen towel, and microwaving for 1 minute. If they are not hot, they will crack when rolled. I warm about half of the tortillas at a time.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup (a little less) filling down the middle of each tortilla. Roll up, and place seam-side down onto a baking sheet or plate that will fit inside your freezer. Put a few straight into the oven or air fryer for an immediate meal, too, if you want. Carefully transfer them to the freezer, keeping them seam side down and not touching each other. Makes 25-30 taquitos.
- Once frozen, transfer to a ziplock bag and keep in the freezer. Write the directions below on the bag.
To cook
- Put frozen taquitos SEAM SIDE DOWN into an air fryer for 8-10 minutes. Or, bake at 400 degrees for 12-18 minutes, until crisp and golden brown.
- Dip in guacamole, salsa, or plant-based cheese sauce.
Notes
You can also use flour tortillas, if you prefer.
You can add vegan cheese in each taquito, if you're used to cheese.
Add sauteed diced mushrooms, bell pepper, spinach, cilantro, zucchini if desired, to add more nutrition!
