Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons corn oil
1 medium onion, chopped (1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 to 1 jalapeno pepper, stemmed, seeded and minced
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup chopped canned tomatoes
3/4 pound ground turkey
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
Oil, for frying
12 (5-inch) corn tortillas, preferably white, or prepared taco shells
1/4 head romaine or iceberg, thinly sliced
3 ripe medium tomatoes, cored and diced
1 to 2 Hass avocados, diced
1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
Sour cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put the oil, onions, garlic, jalapeno, and spices in a medium skillet, season with salt and cook over medium to medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until tender, about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium-high, add the tomatoes and boil to thicken, about 2 minutes. Stir in the turkey and chicken broth, adjust the heat so the mixture simmers and cook until the turkey is cooked through and the mixture thickens but is not dry, about 12 minutes. Stir in cilantro and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and cover.
  • To make the taco shells: Pour enough frying oil into a small skillet so it's about 3/4 of an inch deep; heat over medium to medium-high. Holding 1 edge of a tortilla with tongs, lay the other half in the oil, keeping it flat with a spatula. Cook until crisp, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Flip the tortilla over and repeat with the other half, holding the first side of the tortilla at an angle to make an open shell, cook for about 1 minute more. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Put the fixings and meat in individual bowls and the taco shells on a platter. Serve, encouraging your diners to build their own tacos, with meat in the shell and the fixings on top.

Tacos With Turkey Picadillo image

Picadillo is a typical filling for tacos, enchiladas and chilies, traditionally made with ground beef. I lighten the sweet and savory mixture by using ground turkey breast.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, lunch, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes with juice
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 pound ground turkey breast
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon medium-hot chili powder (more to taste)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup raisins
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons cider vinegar or rice vinegar
Salt to taste
1 tart apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped
12 corn tortillas
2 cups shredded cabbage (about 6 ounces)
Salsa and crumbled queso fresco as desired

Steps:

  • Pulse the canned tomatoes with juice in a food processor fitted with the steel blade until puréed. Set aside.
  • Heat the canola oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until it is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the ground turkey. Season to taste with salt and pepper and cook, stirring and breaking apart the meat, until it is lightly browned, about 8 minutes. If the meat has released any liquid into the pan, carefully pour it off, then stir in the pepper, chili powder, cinnamon, cloves and raisins and stir together for 1 minute.
  • Add the puréed tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of the vinegar and salt to taste, and bring to a simmer. Simmer 15 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring often. Add the apple and continue to simmer for 10 minutes, or until the mixture is thick and meaty. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
  • Cover the cabbage with cold water and let sit for 5 minutes. Drain and spin dry. Toss with the remaining vinegar. Heat the tortillas and spoon the picadillo onto each one. Top with shredded cabbage, garnish with salsa and crumbled queso fresco if desired, and serve.
