Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon chili powder mild
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
- 4 ounces diced green chiles
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 8 corn tortillas
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine all of the dried spices and salt for the taco seasoning.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the ground turkey and onion and break it up into small crumbles.
- Stir in the taco seasoning. Turn the heat down to medium-low and add in the green chiles, cilantro, and salsa. Stir together until combined. If it looks a little dry, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of water. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens, 3-5 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
- Serve the turkey tacos in warmed corn tortillas with your favorite taco toppings.
Notes
The taco meat will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
