Description
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, bell pepper, poblano and green beans; cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes. Stir in black beans, water and taco seasoning until combined; cook, stirring often, until the juices thicken, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly, uncovered, 5 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, combine avocado, cilantro and lime juice in a medium bowl; stir to mash until mostly smooth. Set aside, uncovered, at room temperature, until ready to serve.
-
Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. Stir cheese into the vegetable mixture until evenly combined. Wrap 3 tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave on High until warm, about 20 seconds. Place the warmed tortillas on a work surface; spoon about 1/3 cup veggie mixture into the center of each tortilla; roll up tightly and place seam-side down on the work surface. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
-
Arrange 4 to 6 taquitos, seam-side down, about 1/2-inch apart in the basket; lightly coat with cooking spray. Cook, flipping and coating with additional cooking spray halfway, until well browned and crispy, 8 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining taquitos.
-
Serve the taquitos with the guacamole, pico de gallo and additional cilantro, if desired.
