How to make Ground Turkey Tacos from a Filipino with a Mexican Girlfriend
If you live in California, you can find a Mexican restaurant just about anywhere. Prior coming to California, I rarely ate Mexican food. Not because I didn't like it, but because it's not what my dad cooked for dinner while I was growing up. Also, there weren't that many Mexican restaurants in Hawaii.
Having a Mexican girlfriend, I have grown to love Mexican food and decided to learn how to make some tacos.
If you're in the mood for some Mexican food and don't live near a Mexican restaurant then follow this simple recipe to cure your Mexican food craving. Below is all the ingredients that you will need...
Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 pack of ground turkey
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp basil leaves
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp chili flakes (optional)
1 small onion (chopped)
1 medium tomato (chopped)
4 garlic cloves (chopped)
mexican style blend cheese
sour cream
corn tortllias
your favorite hot sauce
**
The first step is to mix all your spices in a bowl, the cumin, paprika, basil leaves, garlic salt, and pepper. Chop up your onions, tomatoes, and garlic.
**
Place your 2 tbsp of olive oil in a pan and brown your onions, tomatoes, and garlic for 5-7 minutes. In this step, I added the tomato at the 5 minute mark...
Now add in your ground turkey and spices and mix for another 10-15 minutes. Turn off stove and set aside....
Warm up your tortilla on a flat pan. If you have a gas stove, you can place your tortilla directly over the flame to warm it up. It adds a different flavor if you do it this way...
Place your warm tortilla on a plate and add the ground turkey, cheese, sour cream, and hot sauce...
Take a bite and enjoy!
That's it folks! I hope you try this someday. I look forward to your stories and comments about tacos and mexican food.
