Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 10 oz frozen chopped spinach thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 0.25 teaspoon cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a medium bowl, combine the thawed and squeezed spinach, Monterey Jack cheese, cheddar cheese, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
  • Warm the corn tortillas slightly to make them pliable. You can do this by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 30 seconds, or by warming them briefly in a dry skillet.
  • Lay out a tortilla. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the spinach and cheese mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Roll up the tortilla tightly to form a taquito.
  • Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  • Brush the taquitos lightly with olive oil. Place them seam-side down on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the taquitos are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces like salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.

Notes

These spinach taquitos are a crowd-pleaser! You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling for a little heat.
