Directions
Steps
- Place a medium pan over medium heat and add olive oil. In small bowl, combine dried herbs to create SZN’s taco blend. Set aside.
- When the oil is hot, add yellow onions and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir until fragrant.
- Add ground turkey to the pan and mix well. Add half of the taco blend to meat, then cook until no longer pink.
- Add three diced tomatoes and cilantro to the meat and mix well, then add the rest of the taco blend. Reduce heat and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, then turn off the heat and cover.
- Combine sour cream, lime juice, salt and pepper to create SZN’s crema. Set aside.
- Place tortillas in the oven or the flattop at 350 degrees for 30 seconds on each side. After the flip, add the shredded cheese and the meat mixture.
- Remove the tortillas from heat and then add the toppings: lettuce, tomatoes, and crema. Enjoy!
