Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 piece Lime, cut into wedges
- 0.5 cup Diced onion

Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, oregano, coriander, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook until browned, about 6-7 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the spice mixture to the turkey.
Pour in the apple cider vinegar and stir well to combine, allowing the spices to coat the turkey evenly.
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the turkey is cooked through and the spices are fragrant.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they are pliable.
Assemble the tacos by dividing the ground turkey mixture evenly among the tortillas.
Top each taco with diced onion, freshly chopped cilantro, and sliced avocado.
Add a dollop of low-fat Greek yogurt on top of each taco as a healthy alternative to sour cream.
Serve the tacos immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
