Turkey Street Tacos with Cilantro Cream Sauce with Roma Tomatoes

Serves 4 in about 35 minutes. A stove recipe built around mayonaise and cheddar cheese.

Ingredients

• ¾ cup sour cream
• ¼ cup mayonaise
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 or 2 handfuls fresh cilantro leaves
• 2 tsp lime juice, fresh
• Pinch kosher salt
• Pinch pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1 clove garlic, finely minced
• 1 tsp cumin powder
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• 3 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 pkg small flour taco shells, street taco size
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 roma tomatoes, diced

Method

1. Tip in all ingredients to a mini food processor (or use a full sized one if that's what you have) and blend very well. Taste and adjust amount of cilantro and/or salt to your liking.
2. Warm a skillet to med high and add the olive oil. When it starts to shimmer, add the diced onion. Mix occasionally, until softened.
3. Tip in the ground turkey, breaking it up as you cook it.
4. Stir in the garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
5. Simmer until the meat is cooked all the way, and add the tomato paste. Simmer it just a couple minutes longer to heat the tomato paste through.
6. Assemble your tacos with the cheese, then meat, diced tomatoes, and drizzle on some of the Cilantro Cream Sauce. Enjoy!
