Chipotle Turkey Tacos
Description
Ground turkey is cooked with chipotle peppers and pineapple to produce the filling in these sweet, smoky, slightly spicy tacos.
Ingredients
•
6 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
•
2 tablespoons olive oil
•
2 cloves garlic, minced
•
1 1/2 pounds ground turkey
•
10 pineapple chunks in juice, drained, juice reserved
•
1/2 onion, chopped
•
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
•
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
•
6 (6 inch) flour tortillas
•
2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
1
Remove chipotle peppers from sauce and slice into thin strips; keep adobo sauce for later.
2
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add ground turkey, stirring to break up while cooking, until mostly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Add pineapple chunks, onion, and chipotle peppers. Cook until turkey is no longer pink and fully cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more.
3
Stir reserved adobo sauce, 1/4 cup reserved pineapple juice, taco seasoning, and water into the pan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and let simmer, 5 to 10 minutes.
4
Divide meat mixture evenly between tortillas and top with cilantro. Fold and serve.
