Black Bean Taquitos
“If you’ve ever thrown a dinner party with 12 hungry cousins, then you know how hard it can be to keep them content while they wait for dinner to be served. That is why I love to prepare these simple black bean taquitos to serve as an appetizer and keep everyone settled while they wait for the main course.” —Ibraheem Basir, founder of A Dozen Cousins
