Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup water
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and fully cooked.
Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the turkey and pour in the water. Stir well to coat evenly, and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
While the turkey is cooking, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, or wrap them in foil and heat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the cooked turkey in the center of each tortilla.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges for an added burst of flavor, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious turkey soft tacos!
