Baked Sweet Potato and Black Bean Taquitos

Sweet potatoes, black beans and corn rolled up in tortillas with cheddar, cream cheese and salsa. They're baked to a golden brown crunchiness with molten hot middles that equal totally delicious.

Ingredients
  • 2 heaping cups cooked sweet potatoes, cubed
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, melted
  • 2/3 cup salsa (like Green Mountain Gringo)
  • 1 teaspoon chile powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt and a couple dashes pepper
  • 10 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • sour cream, guacamole or ranch dressing, for serving

Instructions

  1.     In a large mixing bowl gently toss the sweet potatoes, black beans, corn and cheese together. In a separate small bowl mix the cream cheese, salsa, chile powder, cumin and salt/pepper together. Pour over the sweet potato mixture and toss until well combined.
  2.     Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment or grease lightly with oil.
  3.     Working one at a time scoop up 1/3 cup of the mixture and place it on the lower third of the tortilla - spread it out in a log shape and roll up tightly - place seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat until all the filling is used.
  4.     Mix the butter and oil together then brush over the tortillas with a pastry brush. Bake 15 minutes until lightly golden.
  5.     Serve with your choice of sour cream, guacamole or ranch dressing for dipping.
