Steps

1Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and set aside.
3In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the turkey.
4Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, and tomato sauce.
5Bring the sauce to a boil over medium heat and then lower the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6Wrap the tortillas in damp paper towel and heat them in the microwave on full power for 45-60 seconds.
7Spoon the meat mixture onto a warm tortilla, about 2 tablespoons per tortilla.
8Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the meat, and then roll up the tortilla around the filling. If your tortilla cracks, heat the remaining tortillas a little more before continuing to fill them.
9Place the taquito seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
10Brush the tops of the taquitos with melted butter.
11Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the taquitos are crisp and lightly browned. Serve with salsa, sour cream, and guacamole.
12Baked taquitos can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat them from frozen in the oven at 350F for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re heated through and crispy.
