  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk (not cream of coconut)

  1. Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with foil.
  2. In 2-quart saucepan, stir refried beans, tomatoes, broth, coconut milk, green chiles and taco seasoning mix; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered about 20 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, cut each cheese stick in half lengthwise to make 2 thin sticks. Place 1 cheese stick on one edge of each tortilla; roll tortilla tightly around cheese. Brush edges of tortillas with water to seal. Place taquitos, seam sides down, on cookie sheet. Brush each lightly with oil. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until edges of tortillas are golden brown and cheese is melted.
