Preparation method Sweet Potato Black Bean Taquitos - Kristine's Kitchen
The preparation method for Sweet Potato Black Bean Taquitos can vary slightly depending on the recipe, but generally, the following steps are followed:

Start by preheating the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into small pieces and place them in a pot of water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the sweet potatoes until they are tender. Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them with a fork or potato masher.

In a separate pan, heat some oil over medium heat and add diced onions and garlic. Cook until softened, then add in the black beans, and cook for a few minutes more.

Mix the mashed sweet potatoes, black beans and seasoning.

Warm up the tortillas in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel.

Place 2-3 tablespoons of the sweet potato and black bean filling onto each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down on a baking sheet.

Brush the taquitos with a little bit of oil and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Serve with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

Note: Some recipes also recommend to fry the taquitos instead of baking them, it's up to your preference.
