Description

Spicy plant-based air-fried taquitos filled with chipotle seasoned shredded sweet potato and mashed black beans. Made with only 5 ingredients and a fraction of the oil, these crunchy Mexican rollups deliver BIG flavor!


Ingredients

Scale

1 large onion (sliced thin)

2 medium sweet potatoes or 1 large (grated)

6 chipotle peppers with adobo sauce (chopped)

1/2 cup black beans (mashed)

12 or more tortillas (corn or flour)

Fresh cilantro (Optional garnish)


Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients as directed above.
  2. In a large frying pan with a little oil, sauté the onion over medium heat until fragrant.
  3. Next, add the grated sweet potato to the pan. Continue to cook and stir until sweet potato is soft. Approx. 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped chipotle peppers to the mixture and stir to combine.
  5. Prepare the taquitos: One at a time, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1 minute or until pliable.
  6. Place a small amount of mashed black beans into a tortilla followed by the sweet potato mixture. Make sure to cover the length of the diameter. Then roll the tortilla tightly.
  7. Cook the taquitos for 7-10 minutes at 400°F or until evenly browned.Depending on the size of your air fryer you may have to work in batches.
  8. Once all of the taquitos are cooked. Plate and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
  9. Serve immediately with salsa, hot sauce, or cashew nacho cheese sauce for dipping and enjoy!
  10. Leftovers can be reheated by placing them briefly back into the air fryer for approximately 3 minutes or by warming them in the oven on a baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes at 425°F.
