Here you go Nina. It’s a super easy recipe.

Baked Black Bean Flautas w/ Creamy Avocado Sauce

1 15 oz. can black beans
8 corn tortillas
cooking spray
3/4 cup grated cheese, I use pepper jack
1 7 oz. can La Costena Green Mexican Salsa
1 avocado, seeded and scooped out of shell

-Preheat oven to 400°F.
-In a small bowl, mash black beans and their juice with a potato masher or a fork.
-Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray (line it with foil first for easier clean-up). Heat the corn tortillas in the microwave for about 1 minute, wrapping them in a moist towel, until they are soft and pliable. Spray both sides of one tortilla with cooking spray. Spoon a few tablespoons of the beans down the center of the tortilla, and top with a sprinkle of cheese. Roll up the tortilla tightly, and lay, seam side down, on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
-Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until tortillas are crispy and slightly browned.
-Meanwhile, puree the salsa with the avocado in a food processor until smooth. Serve the flautas topped with the Tomatillo-Avocado Sauce.

I made Sausage and Potato Soup tonight (can’t believe I’m actually sticking to the menu as written!). I added vanilla extract and balsamic. It was super yummy! I used half and half instead of cream and the “secret ingredients” made it taste very rich. I also put torn fresh spinach in my bowl then added the soup (hubby does not like greens).
