How to cook deliciously - Bean & Cheese Taquitos

1. Stage

In a large bowl, combine beans, pepper Jack, chili powder, and cumin. 

2. Stage

Place tortillas on a heatproof plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave until warm, about 15 seconds. 

3. Stage

Place about 2 tablespoons bean mixture in center of tortilla. Top with cheddar and tightly roll up.

4. Stage

Into a large, high-sided skillet, pour oil to a depth of about 1/2". Heat over medium heat until oil is shimmering (an instant-read thermometer should register about 350°). 

5. Stage

Working in batches, fry rolled tortillas seam side down until golden, 2 to 3 minutes (flour tortillas may take 4 to 5 minutes). Flip and fry second side until golden, 1 to 2 minutes more. Using tongs, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining tortillas, adjusting heat as needed.

6. Stage

In a medium bowl, combine green chiles, sour cream, cilantro, garlic, and lime juice; season with salt and pepper. 

7. Stage

Serve taquitos warm with dipping sauce alongside.

8. Stage

Make ahead: Sour cream sauce can be made 1 day ahead. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate.
