Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 TBS olive oil
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 8 hardshell taco shells
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen), cooked
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salsa, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they begin to soften. Add the ground turkey and cook until it starts to brown, breaking it apart with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  2. Sprinkle the taco seasoning mix over the cooked turkey and onions. Add a little water (follow the seasoning packet instructions) and stir to combine. Simmer for a few more minutes until the turkey is well seasoned and heated through.
  3. While the turkey is simmering, warm the hard shell taco shells in the oven according to the package instructions.
  4. Once the taco shells are warm, spoon the seasoned ground turkey into each shell. Top with tomatoes, corn, and more onions if desired. 
  5. Garnish your tacos with a dollop of sour cream and chopped cilantro for an extra burst of freshness. Serve with salsa on the side for those who love an extra kick.

Notes

Feel free to personalize your tacos with additional toppings like sliced jalapeños, green onions, or guacamole. If you prefer soft tacos, swap the hard shells for soft corn or flour tortillas. You can also prep taco toppings in advance for even quicker assembly on busy nights. Serve with Mexican rice and beans for a complete meal and enjoy!
