Super Bowl Sunday may look a little different this year, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy some great food! Michelle Wong of Sift & Simmer<\/a> came up with this healthier version of taquitos – the perfect game day snack.\u00a0 The baked turkey<\/a> and black bean taquitos are baked, not fried. Turkey is leaner than other choices so you can enjoy taquitos without the guilt. Liven up a weeknight meal too – why not try Taquito Tuesday for a change?<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/h2>\n

Make the refried black bean:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Heat 1 Tbsp of avocado oil in a frying pan over medium heat and add in 1 Tbsp diced white onion. Saut\u00e9 for 2-3 minutes over medium heat, until lightly softened.<\/li>\n
  2. Add in the drained black beans. Reduce the heat.<\/li>\n
  3. Saut\u00e9 the beans with the onion for 1-2 minutes, until heated through.<\/li>\n
  4. Smash the beans with the back of a spatula, or potato masher, until it reaches the consistency of refried beans. It should be thick and hold together. Remove the bean mixture from heat. Cover and set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Make the ground turkey:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat. (You can use the same pan from making the beans).<\/li>\n
    2. Add in 1 Tbsp of avocado oil.<\/li>\n
    3. Next, add in the diced onion and garlic. Saut\u00e9 until the onions soften, about 2 minutes.<\/li>\n
    4. Add in the ground turkey and break it up with the back of a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5-6 minutes, until turkey is no longer pink.<\/li>\n
    5. Add in the spices: 1 Tbsp cumin, 1 tsp dried oregano, \u00bc tsp dried thyme, \u00bd tsp garlic powder, \u00bd tsp chili powder (if using), \u00bc tsp coriander powder, \u00bd tsp salt and \u00bc tsp black pepper.<\/li>\n
    6. Stir and saut\u00e9 the turkey mixture until aromatic, another 2-3 minutes.<\/li>\n
    7. Add in the reserved black bean mixture and incorporate together with the turkey. Remove from heat and set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Assemble:<\/h4>\n
        \n
      1. Lightly dampen a paper towel with water.<\/li>\n
      2. Place a stack of 3 corn tortillas on the plate. Cover with the damp paper towel.<\/li>\n
      3. Place the tortillas into the microwave for about 40 seconds, until steaming hot.<\/li>\n
      4. Working quickly, sprinkle a little cheese at the bottom and the top of the corn tortilla.<\/li>\n
      5. Add about 2 Tbsp of turkey\/bean filling over top of the cheese on the bottom of the tortilla — lengthwise, leaving a little gap at the edges.<\/li>\n
      6. Roll tightly and let it sit seam-side down on a baking tray.<\/li>\n
      7. Repeat with the remainder.<\/li>\n
      8. Lightly spray the tops with a little avocado or vegetable oil.<\/li>\n
      9. Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F.<\/li>\n
      10. Bake the taquitos at 400\u00b0F for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden and crisp.<\/li>\n
      11. Serve warm with shredded lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo if you wish.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Tip:<\/h2>\n

        Taquitos can be individually frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months.<\/p>\n

        To reheat, bake at 350\u00b0F for 15-20 minutes, until heated through.<\/p>\n
