Cheesy Taco Sticks Flavorful and Easy Snack Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 package spring roll wrappers (about 20 sheets)
• 1 cup ground beef or turkey
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1/2 cup corn (fresh or canned)
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• to taste tablespoon olive oil for brushing
• to taste serving salsa and sour cream for dipping

Instructions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
2. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the ground beef or turkey, and cook until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
3. Stir in the taco seasoning and water; mix well. Reduce heat and let simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
4. Remove from heat and fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, black beans, corn, and cilantro until everything is well combined and the cheese is slightly melted.
5. Lay out one spring roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near one edge of the wrapper.
6. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a stick. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
7. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the prepared taco sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden and crispy, turning them halfway through for even cooking.
9. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
