Hi Friends:

I made some tasty low calorie Taquitos last night and wanted to share the recipe. x

1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 packets mild taco seasoning mix (I used McCormicks)
25 corn tortillas
48 oz. lean ground turkey (I used Jennie-o)
½ cup mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large sauté pan heat oil and cook onion and garlic until soft.
Add turkey and cook until turkey is no longer pink.
Add taco seasoning and mix well.
Spray corn tortillas on both sides with nonstick cooking spray and heat in a pan for 30 seconds on each side.
Spoon ¼ cup filling onto each tortilla.
Roll up, seam side down on baking sheet.
Sprinkle the tortillas with the cheese.
Bake until crisp 20-25 minutes.
