Description
Delicious turkey tacos served in crispy tortillas with avocado and pico de gallo.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound 93% ground turkey
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese mix
- 8 corn tortillas
- 4 ounces avocado (sliced thin (from 1 haas))
- 1 cup pico de gallo (homemade or store bought)
- 1 sheet parchment paper (cut into squares)
Instructions
- Prep all your ingredients so everything is ready.
- Season ground turkey with taco seasoning and roll into 8 balls, 2 ounces each.
- Heat a large griddle, black stone or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- When hot, spray with oil. Working in batches add turkey balls leaving enough space in between so they have room to spread and top with parchment.
- Using the press or a large spatula with a mallet pushing down on it, smash them all down as thin as possible. Cook until the bottoms are browned.
- Flip, top each with about 2 tablespoons shredded cheese then top with tortilla.
- Use the press to press down well on each. Cook about 2 minutes, until the bottom of the turkey browns and the cheese melts.
- Flip and cook 1 more minute so the tortillas char. Transfer tortillas to a plate, meat side up.
- Top with sliced avocado and pico de gallo, plus salsa if desired. Fold and eat right away.

- This recipe can be easily scaled to feed more people.
