Instructions
MAKE TACO SEASONING SPICE
- Combine spices and store in spice jar for everyday use.
TURKEY FILLING
- Heat oil in pan.
- Add turkey and onion stirring to break up meat. Cook until browned and onion is almost soft, 6-8 minutes.
- Add taco seasoning spice and tomato sauce. Cook for a few more minutes.
- Serve hot as a filling for assemble-your-own tacos.
PREPARE TOPPINGS
- While turkey is cooking, cut and arrange toppings of your choice on a platter for DIY style tacos. Can be done in advance.
MAKE CORN TORTILLAS
- Mix masa harina, water and salt, adding more water as needed to form dough.
- Shape into 16 balls and flatten with tortilla press.
- Cook tortillas in hot frying pan, with a bit of oil. Turn once.
- Wrap tortillas in a folded towel while cooking the rest. This will steam them and make them soft enough to fold and place into a taco holder.
SERVING
- Serve warm tortillas with turkey filling and all the toppings.
Notes
Substitute turkey with ground beef, chicken or tofu crumbles.
