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.

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).
