My family absolutely loves taco night – but sometimes tacos get a little boring. Having the same thing every week when they want Mexican food gets a bit bland, and going out to our favorite Mexican restaurant is something we normally save for special occasions.

Eating out is not cheap after all. Lucky for me – and my family – I stumbled across this delicious black bean flautas recipes and it’s a major score.

This little appetizer only takes about half an hour to make, so it’s quick and easy. It also serves my family of four perfectly, with a few left over. I plan to make this the next time I need a great tasting potluck dish.

With chili pepper, lime, avocado and loads of other tasty ingredients, it’s a wonderful addition to our otherwise boring taco night and my family loves when I serve appetizers before dinner. I sort of spoiled them on appetizers the first time I made them these delicious fried cheese sticks with buttermilk sauce.

If you’re looking for a great appetizer, this is definitely worth your 30 minutes. You could even make it a main dish if you want something somewhat light and really flavorful.

Just serve it with rice, and you’ll have a wonderful meal. The only thing you need is dessert and
I highly recommend these amazing chocolate chip cookies. Who doesn’t love a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie?

The best thing about this recipe is the homemade salsa. If you’ve never made – or tried – homemade salsa, then you’re missing out. It’s a really easy recipe that is filled with fresh flavor.

The salsa compliments that flautus perfectly. Serve with a bit of sour cream and that’s really all you need. These are easy to make, wonderful to taste, and are sure to help you beat those boring taco night blues.
