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’m still battling a cold but my appetite has finally started to return. It’s very weird to go from being someone who is pretty much obsessed with food to someone who doesn’t really want to eat anything. Last night, I had Mexican food on the brain so I decided to try a vegetarian taquitos recipe. It seemed like it would be quick and easy… and I was right!

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?
I will look forward to trying this easy yummy recipe! Hope you are feeling much better soon.
That's exciting. I attended the BEA when it was held in Los Angeles. It wasn't quite as exciting as what you described but being a newbie, I was a bit overwhelmed.Good going with the full and partial requests. Hope it all goes well.
I have NEVER had anything like this before. I have never been much of a Mexican Food eater – except for Fajitas but these do look pillowy soft and luscious!
I do a similar wrap. If I am eating it for breakfast adding scrambled eggs is so easy love it!
That’s a great idea! Plus the eggs are a nice bonus of protein!
Hey thanks for you generous words Rashmie . It took me some time to write this as you know words don’t come to me so easily! Thanks a lot for pinning the pictures.
Svarte vesker er smart,alt annet blir lett så rart. Desverre er alle mine skikkelig slitte.Skulle tro de plutselig fikk en slags smitte.Med ett røk ene hanken,den andre veska gikk planken.Derfor er det stor lommebok som gjelder, hadde en fattig student bare hatt penger.Da skulle veskene flomme, i mellomtiden håper jeg at denne kan komme.Jeg krysser fingrer å tær,vil så gjerne få på meg litt lær.
Yum! I’d love green bell pepper, onion, and spinach!
Only 5 ingredients and they look delicious, sounds like a great quick weeknight dinner to me!
I am a total sucker for Mexican food – one day I’m going to go to Mexico just to experience it first hand! And refried black beans? Oh yes please!
Love your little gif – so perfect!

Looks delicious! Love the simple 5 ingredient list 🙂

I would add diced green chilis and maybe mix in some chipotle paste with the refried beans! Does look like a delish and easy recipe, love that you bake instead of fry them. Can’t wait to try it.
★★★★
I could eat mexican food daily. I would add spiciness. Maybe jalapeños or green chilis.
OMG these look so good, for a sunday night comfort dinner/ sporting event! I’m sure they’d be eaten up in no time!
★★★★★
these look perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.
Mexican food is my favourite! I love how quick and simple these are! Perfect for a busy weekday dinner.
These look great. I think maybe I’d add some plain Greek yogurt as a substitute for sour cream and really pump up the protein power.
That’s a great idea, Chrissy!
Now I’m craving Mexican! We like things spicy in our house, so some jalapenos would definitely need to find their way in there.
Ohhh I love that idea! Alex can’t handle a lot of spice but I think I’d enjoy jalapenos!
love taquitos! refried beans are one of my favorites <3
I would usually turn my nose up at a vegetarian taco, but these look great! Might have to try them soon.
★★★★★
I would love one of your taquitos for breakfast right about now! These look scrumptious! Pinned
Veggie tacos/quesadillas are my go to quick and easy meal! So easy to make in advance too 🙂
Since I’m not vegetarian, I’d probably add some chicken to them! Maybe some sriracha if I’m feeling wild 😉 I love how simple this is!

WOW how awesome is this recipe?! LOOOOVE finding simple recipes for weeknights. Thanks, Liz!
Say whaaaa?!?!? YES and YES. Do you think I could freeze these? Would make good grab and go breakfasts for my hubby!
I just got a bunch of black beans and now I’m going to need to make my own refried beans and try this!
I may have to put a version of these on my menu over the next few weeks! They are just way too quick and easy not to make!
Ooh now these look really really good! We love Mexican food here!
Oh this looks like a new addition to my tortilla wrap fillings. I love it. Can’t wait to try.
