    Why You Will Love This Recipe

    • This Homemade Vegan Black Bean Taquitos recipe only requires 30 minutes and 8 ingredients.
    • They are vegan, dairy-free and gluten-free so anyone can enjoy them!
    • This recipe is super simple, so its perfect for beginners.
    • These homemade taquitos pair perfectly with all of your favorite dips and sauces.
    • And most importantly they are absolutely delicious.

    Ingredients

    Ingredients needed for making this recipe on a cloth.

    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

    You will need an air-fryer for this recipe. I have the Ninja Foodie Oven and I love it!

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    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 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.

    Recipe FAQs

    How should I store these Homemade Vegan Black Bean Taquitos?

    To store, place the taquitos in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to three days.
    They are best heated back up in an air fryer to crisp back up.

    Are corn or flour tortillas better for taquitos?

    Corn tortillas are the traditional pick! They get nice and crisp when baked, fried or air fried.

    Are corn tortillas vegan?

    Yes! Corn tortillas are made with masa harina, water and salt so they are vegan and gluten-free.

    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.

    Equipment

    • 1 Air Fryer
    • 1 Small Sauce Pan
    • 1 Skillet

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 15 oz Can of Low Sodium Black Beans (do not drain!)
    • ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
    • ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
    • ½ teaspoon Ground Cumin
    • 1 tablespoon Adobo Sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo see note
    • Pinch Salt (Omit if you are not using low sodium beans)
    • 8-10 Corn Tortillas
    • 1 tablespoon Canola Oil

    Instructions
     

    • In a small saucepan, combine black beans (including the liquid that is in the can), garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, adobo sauce and a pinch of salt.
      1 15 oz Can of Low Sodium Black Beans (do not drain!), ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder, ½ teaspoon Onion Powder, ½ teaspoon Ground Cumin, 1 tablespoon Adobo Sauce from a can of chipotles in adobo, Pinch Salt (Omit if you are not using low sodium beans)
    • Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring often, for 10-12 minutes or until the liquid has reduced by about half.
    • Smash some of the beans with the back of a spoon to make the mixture more cohesive.
    • Working one at a time, heat a tortilla over a gas stove burner or on a skillet, then transfer it to a cookie sheet. Put a couple of tablespoons of beans onto one edge of the tortilla and roll up. Place seam side down on a tray. Repeat until all of the bean mixture is gone.
      8-10 Corn Tortillas
    • Preheat air fryer to 425* F. Place as many taquitos as will fit in a single layer into the air fryer.
    • Brush the taquitos with canola oil.
      1 tablespoon Canola Oil
    • Air fry for 6-9 minutes or until golden brown. Times will vary with brand. Repeat until all taquitos are done. See note.
    • Serve with hot sauce, salsa and guac for dipping.

    Notes

    The adobo sauce is spicy, so if you don't like spice you can omit it. And if you love spice, you can add up to 2 tablespoons.
    Its important to not drain the black beans. The starch in the liquid will thicken the mixture.
    Since all air fryers will be slightly different, start with 6 minutes, then increase the time as needed.
