Notes
If you want an extra kick, consider adding some diced jalapeños to the turkey mixture while cooking. For a more traditional flavor, use store-bought taco seasoning or make your own with chili powder, cumin, and paprika. Warm your tortillas in a dry skillet for a few seconds on each side to enhance their flavor and pliability. If you have leftovers, allow the turkey filling to cool, then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
