Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 medium red onion minced
  • 1 pound ground turkey or beef or chicken
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons cumin ground
  • 2 teaspoons coriander ground
  • salt to taste
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup jalapeños fresh, minced or other fresh chili peppers/chipotle peppers

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  • Add 1/2 medium red onion, and cook, stirring often, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Increase heat to medium-high and add the 1 pound ground turkey. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the 2 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 2 teaspoons cumin, 2 teaspoons coriander and salt. Cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds, until fully incorporated and fragrant.
  • Add 1 cup tomato sauce and 1/4 cup jalapeños. Cook, stirring occasionally, over low heat for 10 minutes.

Notes

If serving in crispy corn taco shells, be sure to warm the shells in the oven for a few minutes first. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 350 until they start to sweat (2-4 minutes).
