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.
