Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
Heat tortillas, 1 at a time, in a small skillet over medium heat until warm and soft, about 30 seconds per side.
Spray both sides of a tortilla with cooking spray. Spread about 1 tablespoon black beans down the middle, then top with spinach, about 1 teaspoon cilantro, 1 tablespoon salsa, and sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese and cumin. Roll the tortilla up and place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat to form remaining flautas. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until crispy, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt.

BAKED CHICKEN AND SPINACH FLAUTAS FROM HEALTHY. DELICIOUS.

I found this recipe online: Baked flautas/taquitos stuffed with seasoned, shredded chicken, spinach, and cheese are crispy, but don't have the greasiness of fried versions. To shred poached chicken easily, put it into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium for 45 seconds. Store-bought rotisserie chicken can be substituted for the poached chicken to save time.
