Mini Green Chile Cheesy Bean Taquitos
Ingredients
- 1 can Refried Beans 16 ounce
- 1 can Chopped Green Chiles 4.5 ounce
- 1 ounce Taco Seasoning
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro finely chopped

Instructions
- Mix together the beans, chiles, seasoning, cheese, and cilantro in a medium sized bowl until fully combined.
- Heat 2-3 inches oil in a deep cast iron skillet or dutch oven until it reaches 350F.
- On a clean work surface, place 1 tablespoon of the bean mixture on the bottom middle of each tortilla and roll up as tightly as you can, securing with a toothpick.
- Fry in batches for 1-2 minutes, turning as they cook, until browned and crispy to your liking. I like them really crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove from the oil and allow to cool slightly on a paper towel lined plate until you can remove the toothpicks.

- Enjoy!

Can you bake these instead of frying?
Yes you can!
I swear, these things are so good! Between the five of us, almost all of the twenty-four are gone the first night I make them. We like them fried til kinda dark, too, and I love mine drizzled with a little southwest chipotle dressing! So so good!
YAY! So glad to hear that :) We are the same way with them, and I love the chipotle dressing idea!
I think I’m addicted to these taquitos and I have’t even tried them yet. You are seriously killing the game over here!
Aw thank you friend!
