Method

Cooking the Turkey

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground turkey, onion, and garlic. Cook until the turkey is browned and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.

Seasoning

Add in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all the spices evenly with the turkey. Cook for another 2 minutes.

Adding Pineapple

Gently fold in the diced pineapple, allowing it to warm up and mix with the meat for about 2 minutes.

Prepare Tacos

Warm your taco shells according to package instructions. Once warmed, fill each shell with the turkey and pineapple mixture.

Toppings

Add your favorite toppings, such as avocado, salsa, or shredded cabbage, to each taco.

Serve

Squeeze fresh lime juice on top and serve immediately. Enjoy the vibrant flavors of your Pineapple Turkey Tacos!

Notes

For variations, you can swap ground turkey for ground chicken or a meat substitute. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
