How To Make Baked Black Bean Flautas

1. To begin, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease your baking sheet with oil.
2. In a bowl, mix together the beans and salsa. Mash the beans slightly for a chunky blend.
3. Next, heat the tortillas until soft. Spoon about one tablespoon of the bean mixture onto a tortilla, sprinkle cheese on top, roll it up, and place it seam side down on the baking sheet. Repeat these steps for all tortillas.
4. Finally, brush the rolled flautas lightly with oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt on each one. Place in the oven and bake until crispy and golden brown, roughly 15-20 minutes.

Tips For The Best Results

Storage Tips

• For longer storage, freeze them ��� they���ll last for up to a month.
