Yield:
10 flautas

Ingredients

  • 1 serving cooking spray

  • 10 (6 inch) corn tortillas, or more to taste

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 2 cups chopped fresh spinach, or more to taste

  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1 (16 ounce) jar black bean and corn salsa

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, or to taste

  • 1 (6 ounce) container Greek yogurt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.

  2. Heat tortillas, 1 at a time, in a small skillet over medium heat until warm and soft, about 30 seconds per side.

  3. Spray both sides of a tortilla with cooking spray. Spread about 1 tablespoon black beans down the middle, then top with spinach, about 1 teaspoon cilantro, 1 tablespoon salsa, and sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese and cumin. Roll the tortilla up and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat to form remaining flautas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt.

Cook's Note:

Use your favorite salsa and plain in place of Greek yogurt, if preferred.
