Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 cup corn
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 tsp fajita seasoning
- 4 tortillas
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 lime, juiced
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 lb of ground turkey, 1 cup of corn, 1 sliced bell pepper, 1 sliced onion, 2 tsp of fajita seasoning, 4 tortillas, 1 sliced avocado, and the juice of 1 lime.
- In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- Add the ground turkey to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Use a spatula to break the turkey apart as it cooks. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is browned and cooked through.
- Once the turkey is fully cooked, add the corn and fajita seasoning to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the corn to heat through and the flavors to meld.
- While the turkey and corn mixture is cooking, warm the tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or you can wrap them in foil and place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
- Once everything is cooked, assemble your fajitas. Take a warm tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the turkey and corn mixture onto the center.
- Add a few slices of avocado on top of the filling. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the fajita for added flavor.
- Fold the tortilla over the filling and enjoy your delicious turkey and corn fajitas! Serve with additional lime wedges on the side if desired.
Tips
- For maximum flavor, let your ground turkey marinate in the fajita seasoning for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
- Use a cast-iron skillet if possible, as it provides the best heat distribution and creates a beautiful sear on the meat.
- Don't overcrowd your skillet - this helps vegetables and meat brown instead of steam.
- For extra crispiness, drain any excess liquid from the turkey after cooking.
- Warm tortillas just before serving to ensure they're soft and pliable.
- Experiment with additional toppings like sour cream, salsa, or cilantro for added complexity.
- If you want to make this dish even healthier, consider using whole wheat tortillas.
