Served with an avocado sauce, these vegan black bean taquitos are a fun, crunchy bite you’ll truly enjoy. Plus, they’re super easy to make too.
Three ingredients and 30 minutes are all you need to make these vegan rolled tacos. Black bean burgers from the grocery store make the quick and easy filling!
The secret to making these super quick rolled tacos is using pre-made black bean burgers as the filling. From what I’ve seen they’re usually vegan and I always love the way they’re seasoned, no matter what brand I get. The texture is perfect to fill a crunchy taco shell. 
Black bean burgers are so easy to use as rolled taco filling they’re even pre-measured. Once they’re thawed I just tear them in half, roll them into little logs and boom: I’ve just made rolled taco filling. Are we getting into dangerously easy territory here or what?!?
If black bean burgers aren’t regulars on your shopping list, stay calm. Just head for the frozen section of a big grocery store and you’re likely to find them.
They’re actually pretty fun to make. I wrap the filling with a corn tortilla, give it a good spritz of my favorite spray oil du jour and repeat until I have enough rolled tacos. Or I run out of ingredients. Then, pop them in the oven.
They come out smelling like a Mexican restaurant, golden brown and packing serious crunch!
When I want something to dip them in, I sometimes whip up a quick batch of avocado dipping sauce. It’s rich and creamy and just spicy enough to have a little kick. You’ll need a blender or food processor to make it but it’s extremely easy. I also like to pick up some guacamole from the store sometimes for dipping.
