Notes

  • For a leaner option, use ground turkey and add a splash of olive oil if needed.
  • If you don’t have a taco seasoning packet, mix 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 1/2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, and 1/2 tsp oregano.
  • Lightly char corn tortillas over a gas burner for extra flavor.
  • Keep warm tortillas wrapped in a towel to maintain pliability.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep; cook the meat ahead and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
