Fooddude Recipe ∗ Turkey and Yam Spicy Tacos

Spicy tacos with low fat turkey that have sweet-hot flavor, using yams to give it a surprising twist.

Ingredients

• 1 yam, peeled and diced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ¾ pound ground turkey
• ½ cup chopped sweet onion
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup tomatillo salsa
• ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 16 warm flour tortillas

Cooking Directions

1. Put the diced yam in a microwave-safe bowl; cook in the microwave until cooked through and fork-tender, stirring once, 5 to 7 minutes.
2. Coat the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil and place over medium heat; cook and stir the turkey until crumbled and evenly brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the onion, garlic, and jalapeno pepper into the turkey and continue cooking until the onions begin to caramelize, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with the chili powder, cumin, Cajun seasoning, and salt. Pour the salsa over everything; fold the sweet potatoes into the mixture. Allow the mixture to cook until the excess moisture evaporates. Garnish with the cilantro. Serve with the warm tortillas.
