Spicy tacos with low fat turkey that have sweet-hot flavor, using yams to give it a surprising twist.

Ingredients

  • 1 yam , peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.75 pounds ground turkey
  • 0.5 cups chopped sweet onion
  • 1 clove garlic , minced
  • 4 jalapenos peppers , seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 0.5 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.5 cups tomatillo salsa
  • 0.5 cups chopped fresh cilantro
  • 16 warms flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. 1

    Put the diced yam in a microwave-safe bowl; cook in the microwave until cooked through and fork-tender, stirring once, 5 to 7 minutes.

  2. 2

    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.
