🌯 Air-Fried Crispy Black Bean & Feta Taquitos 🥑

In a medium bowl, combine the rinsed black beans, crumbled feta cheese, ground cumin, and chili powder. Using the back of a fork, roughly mash the ingredients together until they form a thick, chunky paste that holds its shape.

Wrap the corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 20–30 seconds until warm and highly pliable. Skipping this step will cause the corn tortillas to split and crack when rolled.

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the black bean filling down the center of each warm tortilla. Roll the tortillas up tightly into slender cylinders. Place them seam-side down on a plate to hold their shape securely.

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Arrange the taquitos seam-side down in a single layer in the basket. Spray the surfaces generously with cooking oil until completely damp. Air fry for 7–8 minutes until the shells look deeply golden-brown and feel entirely rigid.

Transfer the taquitos to a serving platter. Serve them immediately while hot and exceptionally crunchy alongside a bowl of fresh guacamole or cold salsa verde for the ultimate temperature and texture contrast!
