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.

Baltimore Peach Cake
I can tell you this amazing yeast-based Baltimore peach cake is easy to make — even though I've never been to Baltimore and can't comment on the current state of affairs there. It's said that German immigrants, who apparently brought this recipe to Baltimore, used to top it with sweet caramelized onions. I don't know about onions, but any ripe, sweet fruit should work in this. Serve with ice cream if desired.
