Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 Yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Oregano
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Tomato paste
- 0.25 cup Water
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 1 cup Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 Sliced avocado
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 Lime, cut into wedges
- 0.5 cup Dairy-free sour cream (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper over the cooked turkey. Stir well to coat the meat evenly with spices.
Stir in the tomato paste and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly. Remove from heat.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until pliable.
Assemble the tacos by spooning the seasoned turkey mixture onto the tortillas.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
Optionally, add a dollop of dairy-free sour cream for extra creaminess.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos just before eating.
