Time 1h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Vegetable oil cooking spray
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, minced
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound ground turkey
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 packed cups baby spinach leaves, chopped
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup mascarpone, at room temperature (8 ounces)
Eighteen 6 1/2-inch-diameter extra-thin or regular corn tortillas
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup shredded white or extra sharp Cheddar (4 ounces)
Serving suggestion: salsa or guacamole

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Spray a heavy nonstick baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.
  • For the filling: Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a 12-inch skillet. Cook the onions, salt and pepper, stirring frequently, until soft, about 6 minutes. Add the turkey and cumin. Cook until the turkey is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the beans. Mash the beans until smooth, using a fork. Stir in the mascarpone.
  • Place a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush each side of the tortillas with olive oil. Cook the tortillas in batches until warm, about 30 seconds. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling into each tortilla and roll up into a cigar shape. Place the tortillas, seam-side-down, on the baking sheet and sprinkle with Cheddar. Bake until the Cheddar is melted and the tortillas are crisp and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve with salsa and guacamole.

These taquitos were bland and tasteless. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly and the taquitos turned out soggy. I'm not sure what went wrong.

These taquitos were a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would recommend using a milder salsa if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but I really enjoyed these taquitos. The filling was flavorful and the taquitos were crispy.

I used low-carb tortillas to make these taquitos and they were still delicious. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who is looking for a healthy and tasty snack.

I made these taquitos with ground chicken instead of turkey and they were still delicious. I also added some black beans to the filling.

I followed the recipe exactly and the taquitos turned out great. I would recommend using a good quality cheese, as it really makes a difference in the flavor.
