Ingredients
- 7 1/10 oz ground turkey
- 4 taco shells
- 1 handful lettuce
- 1 4/5 oz shredded cheese
- 2 tbsp sour cream
Salsa Rossa
- 2 tomato
- 1/2 piece onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 1Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil.
- 2Add the 200 g ground turkey to the skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
- 3While the turkey cooks, combine the diced tomatoes, diced onion, and minced garlic in a bowl; season with salt and black pepper to taste to make the salsa rossa.
- 4Let the salsa rest for 3–5 minutes so the flavors meld.
- 5When the turkey is done, use a wooden spoon to lightly smash it in the pan, creating a coarse, textured filling.
- 6Pre‑heat the oven to 356°F (350°F) and warm the taco shells on a baking sheet for 3–4 minutes, or follow the package instructions.
- 7Assemble each taco: place a spoonful of smashed turkey into a warm shell, top with a generous spoon of salsa rossa, shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
- 8Serve the tacos immediately while the shells are crisp and the filling is hot.
- 9Optional: garnish with extra lime wedges or chopped cilantro for added brightness.
