Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Vegan Taquitos
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Dice sweet potatoes, mix with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast for 20-25 minutes until tender.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion for 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add roasted sweet potatoes to the skillet along with black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, and vegetable broth. Let simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  4. Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet until pliable. Spoon filling onto each, roll tightly, and secure with a toothpick if needed.
  5. Place taquitos on a lined baking sheet, spray with oil, and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove toothpicks and serve warm with toppings like avocado, salsa, or lime juice.
