Ingredients

8 tacos

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Add 1 tbsp avocado oil to a large pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until the onion has softened.
  3. Add the ground turkey and garlic. Cook for several more minutes, until the turkey is cooked through.
  4. Add the green chiles, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine. Reduce the heat to low.
  5. Add the cilantro, lime juice, and 1 cup of the cheese. Stir to combine and melt.
  6. Place the tortillas on the prepared sheet pan.
  7. Add a few spoonfuls of taco meat to each tortilla, covering just one half.
  8. Cover the meat with another sprinkle of cheese. This acts as your “glue” to hold it all together.
  9. Fold the other half of each tortilla over and press gently to seal.
  10. Brush the tops of the tortillas with the remaining avocado oil to help them crisp up.
  11. Bake until golden and crispy, about 12 to 15 minutes.
  12. Serve with toppings of your choice.
