Servings: 2 tacos
Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup chopped onions
- 1 small carrot , thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic -minced
- 5 ounces ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 ounces Swiss chard or spinach or kale (about 2 cups chopped greens)
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 flour tortillas
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, carrots, and garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Move the vegetables to the edges of the pan, creating space in the center. Add the ground turkey to the middle of the pan, then sprinkle the taco seasoning over the turkey.
- Use a spatula to break apart the ground turkey, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes.
- Add the chopped Swiss chard to the pan, and stir it in with the turkey and vegetables. Cook for about 1 minute until the chard begins to wilt.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and cook for another 2 ½ to 3 minutes, until the Swiss chard is soft and everything is well combined.
- Warm the tortillas either in a skillet or in the microwave.
- Spoon the cooked ground turkey mixture into the tortillas, and enjoy!
Notes
- Prep your ingredients ahead of time: Chop your vegetables and measure out the seasoning before you start cooking. This will make the cooking process smoother and prevent overcooking.
- Don’t overcook the turkey: Ground turkey can dry out if overcooked, so keep an eye on it. Once it’s no longer pink and fully browned, it’s ready.
- Add a splash of water or broth: If your taco filling feels a bit dry, add a small splash of water or chicken broth to keep everything moist and flavorful.
- Adjust the spice level: If you like more heat, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. You can also top your tacos with fresh jalapeños for an extra kick.
- Keep extra taco filling: If you happen to make extra filling, store it in the fridge for up to three days. You can use it for a taco salad, taco soup, chili, or even as a topping for nachos.
