Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean ground turkey 93/7
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil (15g)
- 1 chipotle peppers in adobe sauce finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp. adobo sauce from can
- 1 tsp. each: chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, paprika
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 lime zested and juiced
- 1.5 Tbsp. honey (32g)
Avocado Crema:
- 1/2 large avocado (60g)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (112g)
- 1 lime zested and juiced
- pinch of salt & garlic powder to taste
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro loosely packed
- 3 Tbsp. water to thin
For serving:
- Street-size flour tortillas
- Shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced onions
- Cotija or shredded cheese
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook, breaking it up with a spoon or meat masher, until browned and cooked through.
- Stir in the chopped chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, lime, and honey. Simmer for another minute or so then remove from heat.
- While the ground turkey is cooking, blend all the crema ingredients using an immersion blender or food processor until smooth and drizzle-able. Adjust salt (or any ingredients) as needed.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
- Fill each tortilla with the turkey, then pile on your toppings– tomato, shredded lettuce, cheese, whatever you love– and finish with a generous drizzle of avocado crema.
Notes
- Storage: Store the leftover Chipotle turkey and avocado crema separately in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Reheat: Reheat ground turkey in the microwave or on the stove, then assemble tacos as directed.
