Bonus shrimp Taco recipe at the end🥰
Ingredients:
1 pound of lean ground turkey/ Ground Chicken works as well
3 large trim-color bell peppers
fresh cilantro
Half Diced onion
Stir in garlic paste
Minced garlic
Fresh herbs of your choice
White corn tortillas
Serve with: Salsa, sour cream, jalapeños, radishes, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce.
Prep: Gather these seasonings and season to taste: Granulated garlic, onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, oregano, black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Ok, now that you have your eyes on everything you need, let’s prep. Dice all of your bell peppers, onions, jalapeños, radishes, etc..
To medium-high heat add a skillet and add avocado oil.. allow the pan to get hot.
Add your bell peppers and onions to the oil and cook down for about a minute.
Add in your ground turkey and season your meat the way you like it! If you don’t have a meat chopping stick then I would suggest you get one for this step of the process! The one I use is linked here https://amzn.to/3pQ1sen (Best investment ever) ⬇️
After you have seasoned and chopped your meat down then you can add about 2 tablespoons of minced garlic and garlic past stir it in and let the meat cook down. (I like to add a little bit of salsa to the meat mixture right before I cut off the fire. (I don’t drain my meat because there is very little grease)⬇️
Place about 6 tortillas in a paper towel and microwave them for about 30 seconds..separate once they cool down. If you skip this step your tortillas will break when you try to put the taco together in the next step. ⬇️
In a clean skillet add a little oil then add two tortillas. Sprinkle cheese on the bottom of the tortillas then spoon in the turkey and veggie mixture on one edge of the tortilla. Once your tortillas start to brown then fold it over and crisp on both sides.
Let cool for 5 minutes then serve!
