These easy vegetarian taquitos are the perfect quick and easy dinner! You can whip up a single batch for your family or double the recipe and feed a crowd!
I love these vegetarian taquitos because I can get them in the oven in less about 10 minutes. The taco seasoning gives this recipe plenty of flavor and the beans are so satisfying. If you don’t have any taco seasoning in your pantry, you can easily make your own! I originally wrote this taco spice recipe for my cookbook but I loved it so much I decided to share it on the blog!
This recipe makes between 6-8 taquitos depending on how full you want them to be. Typically, taquitos are pretty thin and wrapped tightly. But I prefer a little more filling so I usually make 6, but feel free to make more if you like!
If you prefer to keep these vegan, you can replace the cheese with black beans. They’ll still have tons of flavor and it’s a great way to add more protein and fiber!

I’m sure you could add chicken or beef to this if you didn’t want to keep it vegetarian but the beans are pretty filling on their own! If you are making this vegetarian, be sure you find vegetarian refried beans. The more traditional kind tend to use lard.
I think these would also be delicious with some bell peppers and diced onions inside. Honestly, there are probably tons of ways to customize these!
What would you put inside these taquitos?

Hi! Do you think cooking them with beans, corn and some veg in them would work the same? Thanks!

I think it would depend on the vegetables! If you wanted to add things like onions, bell peppers, etc. I’d recommend sauteeing them for a few minutes first, to soften them.
