  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed (low sodium)
  • 1/2 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 10 (6-inch) corn tortillas

Directions

  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Using a fork, mash the avocado and black beans together in bowl. Stir in cumin, garlic powder and salt.
  3. Spread approximately 2 Tbsp. of the mixture onto a corn tortilla, dividing equally between 10 tortillas. Roll tightly to form 10 taquitos.
  4. Place taquitos into air fryer at 400°F degrees for 5 minutes. When timer goes off, flip and put back into air fryer for 5 more minutes. Depending on air fryer you may need to decrease time to 3 to 4 minutes per side.
