Ingredients

• 12 pieces Frozen chicken or beef taquitos
• 16 ounces Red enchilada sauce
• 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Canned corn kernels, drained
• 0.25 cup Chopped green onions
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 as desired Optional toppings: diced avocado, sliced jalapeños, salsa

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray.

Step 2

Pour 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the baking dish and spread evenly to create a thin layer.

Step 3

Arrange the frozen taquitos in a single layer in the baking dish. Depending on the size of the dish, you may need to slightly overlap them.

Step 4

Evenly pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the taquitos, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 5

Sprinkle the black beans and corn evenly over the taquitos, followed by 1 1/2 cups of the shredded Mexican blend cheese.

Step 6

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese on top. Bake uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 5 minutes. Top with chopped green onions, cilantro, and any optional toppings like diced avocado, jalapeños, or salsa.

Step 9

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on each portion. Enjoy your delicious Taquito Enchilada Bake!
