Ingredients
  

For the Tacos

  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 10 oz ground turkey
  • 1 1/2 cups diced mushrooms trust me, they’re perfect in this!
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil for frying tortillas
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning add a touch of water to help mix
  • Slices of red onion for topping

For the Cilantro Lime Avocado Sauce

  • 1/2 avocado
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro
  • A handful of green onions
  • 2 tablespoons water add more to reach your desired sauce thickness
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  • In a pan, sauté the ground turkey and diced mushrooms with taco seasoning and a splash of water. Cook until the turkey is browned and the mushrooms have softened.
  • Heat the avocado oil (or olive oil) in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each corn tortilla for about 1 minute on each side until crispy. Transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Fill each fried tortilla with the turkey and mushroom mixture, then top with shredded cheddar cheese. Fold the tortillas into taco shapes and bake at 375°F for 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the tacos are crispy.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine the avocado, lime juice, cilantro, green onions, water, garlic powder, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding more water if needed for desired consistency.
  • Once the tacos are out of the oven, top with red onion slices, a drizzle of the cilantro lime avocado sauce, a sprinkle of chili powder, and a little extra cilantro for garnish.
