topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 450 g of ground turkey
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 tbsp coarse salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp. l. ground cumin
  • 2 cups small spinach, chopped
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed
  • 1 cup mascarpone, room temperature (220 g)
  • 16 corn tortillas, 13 cm in diameter.
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup grated white or sharp cheddar (110 g)
  • For serving: salsa and guacamole sauces

Preparation:

  1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 200°C. Spray a heavy, nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray.
  2. Filling:

    Heat oil over medium heat in a 12-inch skillet. Saute the onion with salt and pepper, stirring frequently, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the ground beef and cumin. Saute until the turkey is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and saute until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the beans. Mash the beans with a fork until smooth. Stir in the mascarpone.
  3. Place a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Brush the tortillas with olive oil on all sides. Fry in batches until heated through, about 30 seconds. Spoon about 1/4 cup of filling into each tortilla and roll it up. Place the taquitos, seam-side down, on a baking sheet and sprinkle with cheddar. Bake until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are crisp and golden, 25-30 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve with salsa and guacamole.
