Baked Black Bean Sweet Potato Flautas Recipes

BAKED BLACK BEAN & SWEET POTATO FLAUTAS

Steps:

• Pre-heat your oven to 425°F.
• Poke a few holes in your sweet potato, wrap it in a slightly damp paper towel, and microwave on high for about 6-8 minutes, until soft.
• While you wait, combine corn, diced peppers and onion with your black beans, garlic, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, and salsa.
• Once your sweet potato is cooked, remove and mash the flesh, and add the it to the rest of your veggies and mix thoroughly. Add salt, pepper.
• Next, working in batches of 3-4 tortillas, wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high for 30 seconds. This will steam the tortillas so they easily roll into flautas without breaking or cracking.
• Immediately spray or rub one side each tortilla with oil and add "line" of veggie filling to the center of the "dry side" of each tortilla, about 1 inch thick.
• Mix shredded and cream cheese. Top filling with a layer of this mixed cheese, then roll the tortilla.
• Place on a wire baking/cooling rack and seal with a toothpick which has been soaking in water.
• Repeat these steps until you have a rack full of flautas.
• Give them another spritz of oil and set the rack on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. The wire rack elevates the flautas and allows them to get nice and crispy on both sides. If you don't own a wire rack, simply place the flautas on aluminum foil after spraying and turn over halfway through cooking so both sides will get a chance to crisp up.
• Bake on the middle rack, at 425°F, for 15 minutes.
• At the end, set to broil on High for just under a minute to crisp the tortillas into a perfectly golden, crunchy shell.
• Serve with sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, salsa, and guacamole for dipping.
