National Guacamole Day: Mexican Ground Turkey Taco-stada with Guacamole

National Guacamole Day: Mexican Ground Turkey Taco-stada with Guacamole
 
As a resident of sunny California there is access to some of the best avocados in the country, if not the world. Like California Avocados. This versatile fruit can be transformed in a number of ways, including the very popular GUACAMOLE! This recipe creation of mine is a fusion of a taco and tostada, hence the taco-stada was born to celebrate National Guacamole Day...
 
 
Serves: 4
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
 
2 T. canola oil, divided
1 lb. ground turkey
1 packet taco seasoning
1/4 c. water
4 whole wheat tortillas
2 c. romaine lettuce, chopped
1/4 c. cilantro, minced
2 green onions, sliced
1/2 c. shredded cheddar cheese
1 c. cherry tomatoes, variety of colors
1/4 c. sliced black olives
1/4 c. sour cream
 
Guacamole
1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted
1/2 lime, juiced
1/2 t. dried Mexican oregano
1/4 t. garlic powder
1/8 t. paprika
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper
 
Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high and add turkey. Cook until no longer pink, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and return to skillet along with taco seasoning and water. Mix well and continue to cook until water has dissolved and the turkey has soaked up the seasoning, another 8 to 10 minutes.
 
In the meantime heat remaining oil in another large non-stick skillet and cook tortillas until slightly golden and crisp, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
 
For the guacamole combine the ingredients in a small bowl and using a fork mash together, leaving it a bit chunky.
 
Assemble taco-stadas by evenly topping each tortilla with the lettuce, cilantro, green onions, ground turkey, cheese, tomatoes, olives, sour cream and guacamole.

  3. Mexican cooks have been able to adapt their cooking styles to suit new inputs. Having a sudden excess of meat led to the development of meals such as the taco, quesadilla and fajita, dishes that are often loaded with meat and cheese. mexican food Austin

  5. Food is left unrefrigerated for prolonged period which makes it prone to bacteria infestation. If you are planning to prepare food for a large group ensure that you have an appropriate sized refrigerator and freezer to store food and you use proper wrapping paper and bags to store food.
