- Sauté the beans with the onion for 1-2 minutes, until heated through.
- Smash the beans with the back of a spatula, or potato masher, until it reaches the consistency of refried beans. It should be thick and hold together. Remove the bean mixture from heat. Cover and set aside.
Make the ground turkey:
- Heat a large frying pan over medium high heat. (You can use the same pan from making the beans).
- Add in 1 tablespoon of avocado oil.
- Next, add in the diced onion and garlic. Sauté until the onions soften, about 2 minutes.

- Add in the spices: 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, ¼ teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon chili powder (if using), ¼ teaspoon coriander powder, ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ black pepper.
- Stir and sauté the turkey mixture until aromatic, another 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the reserved black bean mixture and incorporate together with the turkey. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble:
- Lightly dampen a paper towel with water.
- Place a stack of 3 corn tortillas on the plate. Cover with the damp paper towel.
- Place the tortillas into the microwave for about 40 seconds, until steaming hot.
- Working quickly, sprinkle a little cheese at the bottom and the top of the corn tortilla.
- Add about 2 tablespoon of turkey/bean filling over top of the cheese on the bottom of the tortilla -- lengthwise, leaving a little gap at the edges.
- Roll tightly and let it sit seam-side down on a baking tray.
- Repeat with the remainder.
- Lightly spray the tops with a little avocado or vegetable oil.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Bake the taquitos at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden and crisp.
- Serve warm with shredded lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo if you wish.
