Vegeterian Stuffed Taquitos
Frozen spinach (thaw in the microwave and squeeze out all the water)
Black beans (canned)
Sweet corn (canned)
Artichoke (canned)
Shredded cheese (You can use monterey jack )
Flour tortillas
Preparation:
Mix all these up in a bowl. No specific quantity. If you don't want to use all of it, then use up what you want and store the rest in plastic containers in the fridge for future use.
Added some salt, pepper and jeera powder.
Preheat the oven to 400
You'll need the flour tortillas. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in pan. Once oil is warm, dip the tortillas very briefly in the oil on both sides so it gets soft.
Then add the filling and roll.
Set the rolled tortillas on baking tray seam side down and bake for 12 mins.
You can prepare these in advance and bake just before you are ready to serve.
