Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 yam, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
¾ pound ground turkey
½ cup chopped sweet onion
1 clove garlic, minced
4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup tomatillo salsa
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
16 warm flour tortillas
Directions
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.
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.
