Taco Tuesday can be any night of the week when you whip up these hard-shell beauties. Instead of beef, lean ground turkey seasoned with smoky fajita spices refreshes this grade school-inspired classic.
Note: The turkey may arrive frozen for freshness. Store it in the refrigerator to defrost before cooking. If you need to defrost it same day, place the sealed package in a bowl of cold water, and leave the tap running in a thin stream for about 30 minutes.
Contains: milk.
What You Get
Ground turkey (see note below)
Fajita seasoning mix
Grain-free taco shells
Iceberg or romaine lettuce
Tomato
Guacamole
Organic Finely Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend
What You'll Need
Vegetable oil
Salt
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Step 2
In a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the ground turkey and season with salt, breaking up the meat into smaller pieces. Cook until no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Add ½ cup water, sprinkle with the fajita seasoning mix, and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the water is mostly absorbed, 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt.
Step 3
Meanwhile, set 9 taco shells on a sheet pan and bake until warmed through and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes. Shred half of the lettuce, saving the rest for another use. Dice the tomato.
Step 4
To build the tacos, place the taco shells on plates. Fill with the ground turkey, lettuce, shredded cheese, guacamole, and tomatoes. Serve warm.
