Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground turkey
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Chili powder
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Oregano
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Tomato paste
• 0.25 cup Water
• 8 Corn tortillas
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 Sliced avocado
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 Lime, cut into wedges
• 0.5 cup Dairy-free sour cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Sprinkle the chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper over the cooked turkey. Stir well to coat the meat evenly with spices.

Step 6

Stir in the tomato paste and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds until pliable.

Step 8

Assemble the tacos by spooning the seasoned turkey mixture onto the tortillas.

Step 9

Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Step 10

Optionally, add a dollop of dairy-free sour cream for extra creaminess.

Step 11

Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the tacos just before eating.
