Easy Vegan Taquitos (under 30 minutes)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Life moves fast, so Easy Vegan Taquitos (under 30 minutes) was created as a dinner option for those busy weeknights. These taquitos are packed with plants; they're gluten-free, corn-free, and all vegan.

Taquitos are for you if you're looking for an easy, healthy, and filling weeknight dinner. With a 10-minute prep and 20-minute baking time, they'll be ready to devour in no time. Filled with black beans and jackfruit, both easily bought in a can, fresh spices, and topped with your favorite fixings, like salsa, cilantro, and avocado.

What you'll need

Tortilla wraps - my preference is Siete. They're gluten-free, grain-free, corn-free, and honestly, the best store-bought gluten-free tortillas I've ever had. You can find them at your local grocery store (Whole Foods, Costco, etc.), or they can be purchased online through their website (no affiliation, I just love their brand). You can always make your own homemade tortillas, too.

Canned refried black beans - I also used the Siete brand; organic and tasty. You can use cooked or canned black beans and mash them as an alternative.

Jackfruit -most stores sell canned jackfruit in water, although if you cannot find any, check out your local Asian market. Fresh is also an option, but it's time-consuming and will not yield a thirty-minute dinner.

Taco seasoning - Garlic, onion, chili, salt, and black pepper make these taquitos delicious. A great option is using a taco seasoning packet for full flavor.

Favorite toppings - totally optional and catered to your liking! Avocado, salsa, red onion (maybe even pickled!), fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Guacamole, a side salad, vegan sour cream, or salsa verde are great options, too!

Tips for success

⭐ Rinse and drain the jackfruit, remove any pods (seeds) and shred all the pieces. Ensure there are no end chunks lefts. The jackfruit pieces will be in triangle slices, and the edge is very firm; ensure this part is removed. You want the final to have a shredded chicken look.

⭐ Place the tortillas in the warm oven for a quick 15-30 seconds to make them more pliable and avoid breakage. Once warmed and soft, fill the center of the tortillas with the jackfruit and creamy black bean filling, then roll closed.

⭐ Place each tortilla seam side down on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Be sure there is space in between each taquito. Brush the tops of the taquitos with walnut oil, avocado oil, or olive oil (any high-heat oil will do).

⭐ Top with your favorite fixings! Avocado, salsa, onions, hot sauce, vegan queso, or fresh cilantro. Serve warm!

⭐ Store in an airtight container for up to three days in the fridge. Reheat in the oven for maximum taste!
