These crispy and flavorful Air-Fryer Taquitos are a perfect plant-based meal. Packed with roasted cauliflower, black beans, and a blend of spices, they’re delicious and easy to make!

Ingredients

  • 1 small head of cauliflower, chopped into florets
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded vegan cheese (optional)
  • Cooking spray
  • Salsa, guacamole, and lime wedges for serving

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 375掳F (190掳C).

  2. Roast the cauliflower: In a large bowl, toss the cauliflower florets with cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes or until tender and golden brown.

  3. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, mash half of the black beans with a fork, leaving some beans whole. Add the roasted cauliflower and mix together.

  4. Assemble the taquitos: Heat tortillas for a few seconds in a pan or microwave to soften them. Place a spoonful of the cauliflower and black bean mixture in the center of each tortilla. Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese if desired. Roll the tortilla tightly and secure it with a toothpick if needed.

  5. Air-fry the taquitos: Spray the rolled taquitos with cooking spray and place them seam-side down in the air fryer basket. Air-fry for 8-10 minutes or until crispy and golden brown, flipping halfway through.

  6. Serve: Remove the taquitos from the air fryer and serve with salsa, guacamole, and lime wedges.
