Preparation
For the Refried Beans:
- Sauté the onion and jalapeño in a preheated dry non-stick skillet for oil-free cooking, or sauté in oil.
- When the onion becomes translucent add the garlic, cumin, and oregano. Sauté for about 1 minute on medium-low. Add a tablespoon of broth if the ingredients start to stick.
- Add the pinto beans, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Start with ¾ cup of vegetable broth, you can always add more if the beans get too dry.
- Cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes for flavors to blend.
- There should be some liquid left, mash some of the beans into the liquid with a potato masher or the back of a fork, keeping some whole for texture.
- If the beans get dry after mashing add more vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency.
- Stir in the fresh lime juice.
For the Taquitos:
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Warm-up tortillas two at a time put them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds between two damp paper towels on a microwave-safe plate.
- Spread out about 2 tablespoons of refried bean mixture on a warm tortilla, leaving room around the edges, then roll up.
- Place them seam side down on baking tray 1 inch apart.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned and crispy.
- Serve warm with toppings.
