Turkey Mince Tacos

Turkey mince, if you haven’t tried it, it is a great alternative to beef mince whether you are looking for something lower in fat with health benefits or just a change from the usual. Turkey mince has a light, mild flavour which works really well as a taco filling. Our Turkey Mince Tacos recipe is full of flavour and freshness,  and we hope it will become one of your quick and easy, go-to midweek meals.

For this turkey tacos recipe, we fry the mince with our Gran Luchito Smoky Chipotle Fajita & Taco Mix, but you could also use our Gran Luchito Garlic & Guajillo Fajita & Taco Mix which has a milder flavour. After simmering the turkey mince with orange juice and tamari, the mince is finished off with a squeeze of lime and coriander for freshness. It then gets wrapped up in our Gran Luchito Soft Taco Wraps, with slices of avocado, fresh cabbage for crunch and dollops of Gran Luchito Tomatillo Salsa.

We tried this recipe the other night. The kids liked it with cheese on top and as I didn’t have the chipotle salsa, I used green and it was amazing too.
