Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces corn tortillas
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 lime, juiced
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spatula, until no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld. Remove from heat.
In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with the lime juice until smooth. Stir in the chopped cilantro and set aside.
In another skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by dropping a small piece of tortilla into it; it should sizzle immediately.
Using tongs, carefully place a tortilla in the hot oil. Fold it in half with a spatula to create a taco shape and fry for about 1 minute on each side or until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
To assemble, spread a spoonful of the avocado mixture inside each fried tortilla. Fill with the seasoned turkey mixture, lettuce, and diced tomatoes.
Serve the crispy fried tacos immediately, garnished with any additional toppings of your choice.
