Tacos are a go to meal in my house, usually always on Thursdays. You know those taco seasoning packets you buy at the grocery store? Well, they’re garbage. Terrible for you, salty, preservative loaded GARBAGE!! So today I’m going to share with you not only a healthy taco recipe, but also a homemade taco seasoning! You’re welcome!!
What you’ll need for the seasoning:
- 1/2 Cup Chili Powder
- 1 1/2 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
- 2 Tbsp. Ground Cumin
- 1/2 tsp. Cayenne Powder
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Kosher Salt
- 2 tsp. Dried Oregano
Mix them all together and store in an air-tight container!!
(Side note: I buy my containers at Penzy’s spices, they even come with labels!)
Now for the tacos!!
- 1 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Medium Onion, Diced
- 1 Lb. Lean Ground Turkey
- 1/4-1/2 Cup Homemade Taco Seasoning (above)
- 6 Oz. Tomato Paste
- 3 Oz. Water
- Corn tortilla shells
Optional toppings: shredded cheese, avocado, diced tomatoes and/or plain greek yogurt (instead of sour cream)
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft.
Add ground turkey and break up with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook until no longer pink.
Stir in the taco seasoning and let cook for about 1 minute.
Stir in the tomato paste and water. Cook for another minute or two, until heated through.
Build tacos in warm corn tortillas!!
