Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients: Before you begin cooking, prepare your toppings and have them ready for assembly. This will ensure your tacos are served fresh and hot when ready.
  2. Cook the Ground Turkey: Brown the turkey in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into smaller pieces as it cooks.
  3. Season: When no longer pink add the taco seasoning and mix well. Add the onion, garlic, bell pepper, water and tomato sauce, stir and cover. Simmer on low for about 20 minutes or until the sauce thickens and the flavors meld. If it's too liquidy, uncover and simmer a few more minutes. Adjust salt to taste, as needed.
  4. Assemble the Tacos: Char the tortillas about 30 seconds on each side over the flame. OR If using hard shells, heat according to package directions. Divide the meat equally with a slotted spoon, about 1/4 cup each and top with cheese, lettuce, pico de gallo and optional toppings of your choice.
  5. Serve: Once assembled, eat right away while the filling is warm and the tortillas or shells are warm or crispy.
