Spicy tacos with low fat turkey that have sweet-hot flavor, using yams to give it a surprising twist. Ingredients:
1 yam, peeled and diced |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
3/4 pound ground turkey |
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion |
1 clove garlic, minced |
4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced |
1 tablespoon chili powder |
1 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon cajun seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup tomatillo salsa |
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
16 warm flour tortillas |
Directions:
1. Put the diced yam in a microwave-safe bowl; cook in the microwave until cooked through and fork-tender, stirring once, 5 to 7 minutes.
2. Coat the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil and place over medium heat; cook and stir the turkey until crumbled and evenly brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the onion, garlic, and jalapeno pepper into the turkey and continue cooking until the onions begin to caramelize, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with the chili powder, cumin, Cajun seasoning, and salt. Pour the salsa over everything; fold the sweet potatoes into the mixture. Allow the mixture to cook until the excess moisture evaporates. Garnish with the cilantro. Serve with the warm tortillas.
