Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground turkey
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 8 corn tortillas
- 2 ripe avocados
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- Olive oil for cooking and brushing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of olive oil. Once heated, add the ground turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the turkey is cooked, stir in your taco seasoning and a splash of water (about 1/4 cup). Mix well and let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the flavors meld together.
- While the turkey is cooking, take your corn tortillas and lightly brush both sides with olive oil. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re crispy and golden.
- In a blender or food processor, combine ripe avocados, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and a dash of garlic powder. Blend until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Once the taco shells are crispy, fill each shell with the seasoned ground turkey, followed by a generous drizzle of avocado sauce. Top with shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and any other toppings you desire.
- Serve the tacos with extra avocado sauce and lime wedges on the side for a refreshing touch!
