Ingredients
Canned Black Beans: I love to keep canned beans on hand to make quick recipes like my Butter Bean Hummus and Refried Black Beans! Try to grab a lower sodium can of black beans, or this recipe can be too salty!
Spices: A combination of garlic powder, onion powder and cumin.
Chipotles in Adobo: I use some of the adobo sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo for flavor. It is smoky and spicy and so delicious!
Corn Tortillas: To keep these homemade vegan taquitos gluten-free, use corn tortillas.
Canola Oil: To brush the taquitos with before putting them in the air fryer.
Substitutions
Use more or less of the adobo sauce from a can of chipotle chilis in adobo to suit your spice preference.
These Homemade Vegan Black Bean Taquitos are mild to medium spicy as the recipe is written.
Special Equipment

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1. First, add black beans, garlic powder, onion powder, and adobo sauce into a small saucepan.
Step 2. Next, place the beans on the stovetop and bring them to a simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Then, use a spoon to smash some of the beans against the side of the saucepan. They should look like this photo.
Step 3. Now, working one at a time heat up a corn tortilla on a skillet until it is very pliable.
Step 4. Then, add a few tablespoons of the bean mixture to the tortilla and roll it up.
Step 5. Now, place them seam-side down in an air fryer basket or on a greased baking sheet.
Step 6. Finally, brush the tops of the vegan taquitos with canola oil and air fry until browned and crispy. Serve with salsa and vegan sour cream.

Expert Recipe Tips
Don't drain your black beans! I know this goes against everything you know about canned beans.
But the liquid from the beans will thicken up will help everything stick together. The bean mixture will be too dry if you drain them.
