Ingredients

• 12 pieces Blue corn tortillas
• 1 cup Feta cheese
• 1 cup Black beans
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
• 3 stalks Green onion, finely sliced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese, black beans, chopped cilantro, green onions, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, olive oil, and lime juice. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 2

Warm the blue corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 10-15 seconds on each side to make them more pliable.

Step 3

Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling mixture along the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and secure it with a toothpick if necessary.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C), or until a small piece of tortilla sizzles when placed in the oil.

Step 5

Working in batches, carefully place the taquitos seam-side down in the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked taquitos to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 7

Serve the taquitos warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
