Baked Cheesy Refried Bean Taquitos

As you all know by now, I love Mexican food.  Everything about it makes my mouth water and my stomach grumble.   I love the spice combinations and bold flavors.  It doesn’t get any better than thatJ  These darlings are packed with refried beans, spices and cream cheese & baked in the oven.  Serve with a salad or some Mexican rice and you’ve got yourself a fine meal!

The pictures are similar to my previous chicken taquitos-they are SO tricky to shoot!  But they taste just as good, if not better.  Gavin and I enjoyed this vegetarian option for taquitos-always good to have it on the repertoire!
