Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes fresh or canned
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced avocado
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
  2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the diced tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. While the turkey mixture is simmering, heat the corn tortillas in a separate skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and slightly crispy.
  7. To assemble, place a generous spoonful of the turkey mixture onto each tortilla. Top with shredded lettuce, diced avocado, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
