Ingredients

– 1 lb ground turkey
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 8 taco shells (crispy or soft, your preference)
– 1 cup shredded lettuce
– 1 cup diced tomatoes
– ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– 1 avocado
– ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
– 1 tablespoon lime juice
– Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

Creating Crispy Baked Ground Turkey Tacos with Avocado Sauce is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3. Season the Turkey: Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
4. Add Spices: Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
5. Prepare Taco Shells: While the turkey is cooking, arrange taco shells on a baking sheet. If using soft shells, you can lightly warm them in the oven.
6. Fill Taco Shells: Spoon the cooked turkey mixture evenly into each taco shell.
7. Bake Tacos: Place the filled taco shells in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the shells are crispy and heated through.
8. Make the Avocado Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
9. Assemble Tacos: Remove the tacos from the oven. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and cheese. Drizzle with the avocado sauce.
10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious Crispy Baked Ground Turkey Tacos with Avocado Sauce while they are still warm.
