- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the vegan ground turkey substitute to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks.
Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the crumbles evenly with the spices.
Mix in the tomato paste and vegetable broth. Stir well, allowing the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through and the flavors are combined.
Warm the corn tortillas by heating them in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or by wrapping them in foil and placing them in a warm oven for 5 minutes.
Assemble the tacos by placing a portion of the vegan turkey mixture onto each tortilla.
Top with shredded lettuce, cherry tomatoes, vegan shredded cheese, sliced avocado, and fresh cilantro.
Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos before eating.
