Better For You Smashed Tacos

Servings 6 Tacos

Ingredients

  • 6 small soft tortillas (6 inch)
  • 1 lb ground turkey (85% lean)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Avocado oil
Toppings
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Sliced jalapeños
  • Sliced avocados
  • Chopped tomatoes
  • Chopped cilantro 

Instructions

  • Preheat the baking sheet in a 325-degree Fahrenheit oven.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey with the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne (optional).
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brush avocado oil on the bottom of the skillet.
  • Roll enough of the turkey mixture to make a ball the size of a lime. Making one at a time, place the turkey ball in the middle of the heated and oiled skillet and top with one soft tortilla shell.
  • Press the tortilla down using a spatula, essentially flattening the turkey into a very thin patty. Cook for about 2-3 minutes. Flip the tortilla over and slide it onto the preheated baking sheet, top it with the desired amount of shredded cheese, and place it in the 325-degree Fahrenheit oven while you finish cooking the batch.
  • Repeat until you use all the meat mixture.
  • Remove the baking sheet and top your tacos with your favorite taco toppings.
