This Vegan and Gluten Free Black Bean Taquitos recipe is easy and delicious and made right in an air fryer. They make the perfect appetizer!
Jump to RecipeThese taquitos are big on flavor but require minimal ingredients and time. These are the perfect appetizer for a get-together. I love to serve them with salsa, guacamole, or vegan queso for dipping.
Ingredients
You only need a handful of ingredients to make this vegan Gluten-Free Air Fryer Black Bean Taquitos recipe. And most of them are pantry staples!
Here is what you will need:
Canned Black Beans: I usually grab Goya, but any brand will work.
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.
Corn Tortillas: To keep these taquitos gluten-free, use corn tortillas.
Canola Oil: To brush the taquitos with before putting them in the air fryer.
Method
To make these Vegan Gluten Free Air Fryer Black Bean Taquitos, add black beans, garlic powder, onion powder and adobo sauce into a small sauce pan.
Then, place the beans on the stove top and bring them to a simmer. Continue to simmer for about 10 minutes.
Next, use a spoon to smash some of the beans against the side of the saucepan.
Now, working one at a time heat up a corn tortilla on a skillet until it is very pliable.
Then, add a few tablespoons of beans to the tortilla and roll it up and place it seam side town in an air fryer basket or pan.
Repeat until the bean mixture is gone.
Finally, brush the tops of the taquitos with canola oil and air fry.
Top Recipe Tip
Don't drain your black beans. I know this goes against everything you know about canned beans.
The liquid from the beans will thicken up really nicely.
Substitutions
Use more or less of the adobo sauce from a can of chipotle chilis in adobo to suit your spice preference. These 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!
Storage
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.
