Creamy refried Black Beans and chili-spiced Sweet Potatoes make a delicious and meatless Flauta that's baked instead of fried.

📝 Ingredients

  • 12 Small Flour Tortillas
  • 1 Cup Refried Black Beans (Either homemade or Canned)
  • 1 Large Sweet Potato (Peeled and diced into even chunks. If the sweet potato is small, then use 2-3.)
  • Cooking Oil Spray (or Use oil and a pastry brush.)
  • 1 tablespoon Oil (For the Sweet Potatoes)
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash, peel, and dice Sweet potato and place in a bowl. Add oil and seasoning mixture, mix well to coat each piece in seasoning. Bake for 10 minutes, turn them over, and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until potatoes have some crispness.
  2. 2Warm tortillas in the microwave till they are soft and pliable, about 20-30 seconds. Spread an even layer of black beans toward the bottom of the tortilla. Then add sweet potatoes on top. Roll tightly and place the seam side down on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking oil or lined with parchment paper.
  3. 3Spray or brush each flauta with oil. Bake for 10 min and turn them over. If seam is coming apart, spray more oil and press it back together. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until crispy. You can also broil for 2 minutes, but make sure they don't burn.
  4. 4Serve warm with your favorite condiments, toppings, or sides.
