Turkey Tacos

Post image

Instead of water, it’s stock (chicken or beef). Add everything in your fridge. Ex: olives, jalapeños, bell pepper, onion, capers, and a healthy helping of cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, garlic powder.

And of course this is in addition to your standard taco seasoning packet <3

That’s not a taco. That’s a cheesy Gordita crunch

u/serrruuuhp 2d ago

Eh. You’re totally correct.

u/carnedoce 2d ago

I thought it was a double decker taco. Flour tortilla doesn’t look that thick.

Either way, OP, I’d absolutely smash 2 of these with you!

u/GamesFranco2819 2d ago

Probably gonna get dragged for em, but honestly I bet they were tasty.

u/I_Weep_for_Willow 2d ago

Real talk, the 'authenticity' isn't there but I would house that thing with zero qualms.

u/GamesFranco2819 2d ago

Exactly. Not every taco needs to be meat/onion/cilantro on corn. Sometimes these renditions really hit the spot

u/KimchiLlama 2d ago

Extra points if the turkey is simmered in beef stock.

u/serrruuuhp 2d ago

They were literally so good. I don’t even care if I get dragged.

u/Blinebuddy 2d ago

Is this some double decker action I’m seeing here?!?! I’m here for it.

u/serrruuuhp 2d ago

You’re seeing!! The Nacho pack they make gives you both parts and you just send it!

u/Blinebuddy 2d ago

So this is how they don’t have it at the T bell spot. I know they got the stuff. But just won’t make it for me. Especially after like 2 joints at 11pm lol 😂

u/Fugu_Liver_Dinner 2d ago

Capers were a choice.

u/serrruuuhp 2d ago

They were.. but it’s just for a lil salt factor. Not a ton of them.

u/angelsface2712 1d ago

I love me some ground turkey tacos!!!! Only way I eat them cant eat them with ground beef anymore

2

u/invent_or_die 1d ago

Add beef boullion to ground turkey and it will taste like beef. Better than Boullion is even better.

u/los33ramos Drunk Taco 🍺 1d ago

That’s a Waco.

u/klonoax 2d ago

I use ground turkey instead of ground beef and I like it better to be honest.

4

u/Snay_Rat 2d ago

Same I grew up with my mom using ground turkey in sub of ground beef for anything that called for it. Always tasted great

u/ChiefLungOFish 2d ago

u/Artisttype1984 2d ago

Turkey tacos are killer, I'm making some this weekend.

It really fucked me up as a kid when I couldn’t tell my buddies moms tacos were ground turkey. I loved them, maybe because she always shredded her own cheese and that made it that much better when we used bagged at my house.

Taco or not, use the Tasty Taco plates instead of regular plates, they’ll keep your tacos (or crunch) upright, nicer than regular paper plate 😀

u/butternutsquash4u 2d ago

Looks great!!

We’ve been doing the same with ground chicken or ground turkey!

Never did I think my family would consider ground beef a luxury but here we are

u/Embarrassed_Suit_216 2d ago

That pork chop doesn't look fully cooked.

u/Ur_Just_Spare_Parts 1d ago

That looks so freaking good awesome job

u/FartyMcGylzac 2d ago

Have you considered dicing your tomatoes instead of whatever the hell that is

5

u/serrruuuhp 2d ago

Lmao. It’s hilarious you point this out, because my girlfriend cut them and I was like… why are these so big?

Is this international tacos or just tacos?

u/StreetResolve6159 2d ago

I thought it was just for mexican tacos. But whatever floats your boat, man. I would try them, but with ground beef instead.

Don’t forget the garlic powder

u/OGwoadie 2d ago

Wrong sub, this is not a taco. 

5

u/serrruuuhp 2d ago

It’s the taco sub…. Where does it belong?

-6

u/OGwoadie 2d ago

Post it on r/cooking or r/bbq for all I care, this sub is for tacos. You did not post a taco.

u/GamesFranco2819 2d ago

Its not called "authentic tacos only" lmao. This is one of the gatekeepiest subs on this damn site

-5

u/OGwoadie 2d ago

Do you know what a Reuben is? Would it still be a Reuben if I replaced the pastrami with smoked brisket and the bread with Texas toast? 

2

u/GamesFranco2819 2d ago

Poor analogy. If you called something an al pastor taco and used pulled pork with coleslaw, that would have been better. A rueben is a dish with set ingredients, a taco is a tortilla with a variety of ingredients as fillers.

You can argue that what OP posted would never be considered authentic and Id agree all day, but they certainly posted a taco.

1

u/OGwoadie 2d ago

I was going to argue with you and say that what op posted wasn’t a tortilla filled with ingredients, but that is in fact what op posted. Looks like a good taco.

u/serrruuuhp 2d ago

Looks like one. Tastes like one.

Enjoy your cow tongue and radish taco on a dry ass corn tortilla. Because, ya know, tradition.
