Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground turkey (93% lean)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion (diced)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1.5 teaspoons Chili powder (low sodium)
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (no salt added)
• 0.25 cup Water
• 8 pieces Whole wheat or corn tortillas (6-inch, low sodium)
• 2 cups Lettuce (shredded)
• 1 cup Tomatoes (diced)
• 1 medium Avocado (sliced)
• 1 lime Lime wedges
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is heated, add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, and paprika. Mix well to evenly coat the turkey with the spices.

Step 6

Add the tomato paste and water to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is slightly thickened.

Step 7

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side or wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.

Step 8

Assemble the tacos by layering the turkey mixture, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and fresh cilantro (if using) on the warmed tortillas.

Step 9

Serve with lime wedges on the side to squeeze over the tacos for extra flavor.
