Black Bean and Aketta Taquitos with Salsa Verde

Yum

These savory taquitos are filling! We made our own tortillas and added Aketta powder to the masa. You can use either Aketta powder or whole roasted Aketta in the filling, both taste great!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup canned black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup scallions sliced
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup of whole roasted Aketta
  • 1/2 tablespoon southwest seasoning
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup pepper jack cheese shredded
  • 6 homemade corn and Aketta powder tortillas (or pre-made corn tortillas)
  • 6 toothpicks
Salsa Verde
  • 1 lb tomatillos
  • 1/2 of a large white onion
  • 1 clove of garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup of hot water (180 degrees)
  • 1 tablespoon Aketta flour
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1 serrano pepper, stem and seeds removed


Directions

Heat oven to 425 F. In a sauté pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil, and sauté the roasted Aketta, black beans, scallions, and garlic, till the scallions begin to soften and the garlic becomes aromatic. Brush the tortillas on both sides with the remaining oil. Place 1/4 cup of the black bean Aketta mix on each tortilla, top with 1 tablespoon of shredded pepper jack cheese. Roll the tortilla up tightly. Use a toothpick to keep the tortilla closed. Place the rolled, filled tortillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Baked for approximately 12-16 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

For Salsa Verde:

Heat oven to 425 F. Mix the Aketta flour and hot water together, and set aside. Lightly coat the tomatillos,Serrano, and onion in olive oil. On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, roast the tomatillos, Serrano, and onion, until they just begin to lightly char and turn black. In a food processor, process the roasted tomatillos, Serrano, onion, garlic, and cilantro. Just process to salsa consistency, do not over process. Stir in the hot water and Aketta, to thin the salsa.


Note: Salsa will thicken when cooled. If you do not thin with the Aketta water it will be very thick.
