Steps

1Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (For air fryer instructions, go to Air Fryer Taquitos.)
2In a large bowl, mix the refried beans, salsa, chili powder, shredded cheese, and green onion (if using).
3Optional step: If you’re using 100% corn tortillas, microwave them for about 30 seconds with a damp paper towel to prevent cracking and help them be easier to work with. Every tortilla brand is different, so if your tortillas seem brittle it’s helpful to heat them before rolling.
4Lay a tortilla on a work surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the bean mixture in a dollop onto the bottom half of the tortilla. Be careful not to use too much! Tightly roll the tortilla from the bottom (the filling will spread out and hold the tortilla together). Place the flauta seam-side down on the baking sheet. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.
5When the flautas are assembled, brush the tops with oil and sprinkle them with a bit of salt. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until crisp and browned. Some of the beans may come out the ends of the rolls, which is expected (enough filling will remain to perfectly flavor them!). Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream. Freezing instructions: Cool the flautas to room temperature, then freeze in a sealed container. To reheat, bake in a 350°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until warmed through.
