CHIPOTLE TURKEY TACOS

Chipotle Turkey Tacos image

Just whipped this recipe up on a whim. Why should pork get all the chipotle/pineapple fun? Meaty, sweet, with a little spicy kick. This will surely become the most popular taco you will ever make! An excellent addition to this meal is the Cilantro-Lime Rice recipe from AllRecipes.

Ingredients

6 peppers chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ pounds ground turkey
10 piece (blank)s pineapple chunks in juice, drained, juice reserved
½ onion, chopped
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
6 (6 inch) flour tortillas
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

Remove chipotle peppers from sauce and slice into thin strips; keep adobo sauce for later.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add ground turkey, stirring to break up while cooking, until mostly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add pineapple chunks, onion, and chipotle peppers. Cook until turkey is no longer pink and fully cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more.
Stir reserved adobo sauce, 1/4 cup reserved pineapple juice, taco seasoning, and water into the pan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and let simmer, 5 to 10 minutes.
Divide meat mixture evenly between tortillas and top with cilantro. Fold and serve.
