Black Bean Baked Taquitos

For the low fat, high fiber and no meat diet......

Black Bean Baked Taquitos
1 T. oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic
1 t. paprika
1/2 t. cumin
1/2 t. cayenne pepper or chili powder
1 t. salt
15 oz. black beans or refried beans or a combination of both
1/4to 1/2 c. cilantro
10 to 12 corn tortillas
1 c. cheese
cooking spray or oil for brushing

Preheat oven to 425˚ and bring a medium/large pot of water to a simmer.
In a pan, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onion and pepper until onion becomes translucent. Stir in garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and continue to cook for 1-2 more minutes. Add in black beans and cilantro, cooking until beans are heated through- two to three minutes more.
Turn off pot of water. Taking one corn tortilla at a time, dip in hot water for 3-4 seconds. Place on a cutting board and scoop one spoonful of black bean filling and a hefty pinch of cheese on top. Roll tight and place seam side down on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Repeat until all the filling is used. Brush each piece with oil.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the corn tortilla is a light brown color. Dip in salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
