Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 poblano peppers
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • Toppings of your choice: chopped cilantro, lime wedges, avocado, shredded cheese, etc.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roast the poblano peppers: place the poblano peppers on the baking sheet and roast for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the skin is charred and blistered. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly, then remove the stems, seeds, and skin. Dice the peppers and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Add the diced poblano peppers, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet, and stir to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spices are fragrant and the peppers are heated through.
  6. To assemble the tacos, heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or over an open flame until lightly charred and pliable. Spoon the turkey mixture onto each tortilla, and top with your desired toppings.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to roast the poblano peppers until they are well-charred and the skin is blistered. This will give them a smoky flavor that pairs perfectly with the ground turkey. If you want to add even more flavor to the turkey mixture, you can stir in a can of drained black beans or corn kernels. Serve with your favorite sauces and salsas. Enjoy!
