These are not rolled as tightly as traditional taquitos nor fried in oil. With the ground turkey instead of beef it's a little healthier than what you might normally make. Chipotle peppers would mix in nicely if you like their flavor. I love it, my husband doesn't. If you do not want to make the taquitos, try topping the mixture over rice.
