Ingredients
- 12 small corn tortillas (6-inch)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup finely chopped bell pepper (any color)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture)
- 1/3 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 1/2 cup finely chopped spinach or kale (packed, remove excess moisture)
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 tsp dried dill weed
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Olive oil spray or avocado oil spray (for baking)
- Optional: Extra ranch for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Make ranch seasoning: In a small bowl, combine dried dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to make ranch seasoning. Set aside.
- Prepare filling: In a medium mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth. Add cheddar cheese, bell pepper, zucchini, corn, spinach or kale, and green onions. Sprinkle ranch seasoning over mixture and stir until evenly combined.
- Warm tortillas: Wrap tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30-45 seconds until flexible, or heat individually in a skillet for 15 seconds per side.
- Assemble taquitos: Lay a tortilla flat, place about 2 tablespoons of filling along the lower third, and roll tightly into a cigar shape. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
- Prepare for baking: Lightly spray or brush tops of taquitos with olive oil. Space them out on the baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Flip halfway through for extra crunch if desired.
- Cool and serve: Cool taquitos for 3-5 minutes before serving. Serve with extra ranch or salsa for dipping.
