GETTING READY

1. Pre-heat oven to 175 degrees F.

MAKING

2. Combine beans, seasonings, honey, vinegar, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Mash to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes, or until beans are heated through.

3. Top each quarter tortilla with a dollop of beans and a sprinkle of cheese, leaving a bit of space along one long edge. Roll, starting with the shortest edge.

4. Heat skillet. Add 1 T oil. When hot, add 4-5 taquitos. Cook until browned and crispy, flipping once or twice, about 2-3 min per side.

5. Place a cooling rack on a baking sheet in the oven. Transfer cooked taquitos to oven to keep warm.

6. Add another 1 T olive oil to skillet and cook the next batch, repeating until all have been cooked.

SERVING

7. Serve with salsa and yogurt for dipping.
