Ingredients

• 12 pieces Corn tortillas
• 2 cups Refried beans
• 1 cup Shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0 Optional toppings (guacamole, sour cream, salsa)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the refried beans, shredded cheese, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 2

Warm the corn tortillas slightly in the microwave (10-15 seconds) or on a dry skillet over medium heat to make them pliable and prevent cracking while rolling.

Step 3

Place about 2 tablespoons of the refried bean mixture onto the lower third of each tortilla. Spread it slightly, then tightly roll the tortilla around the filling to create a taquito. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 4

Secure the taquitos seam-side down with a toothpick to hold their shape while frying.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Carefully place a few taquitos seam-side down into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.

Step 7

Cook the taquitos for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to turn them gently.

Step 8

Remove the fried taquitos and place them on a plate or tray lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Once all the taquitos are cooked, remove the toothpicks and serve warm with optional toppings such as guacamole, sour cream, or salsa.
