Ingredients
- 1 pound 93% ground turkey
- 4 ounces avocado
- 1 cup pico de gallo
- parchment paper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese mix
- 8 corn tortillas
- 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
Equipment Needed
- a round burger press or large spatula
Instructions
- 1
Gather and prepare all your ingredients to ensure everything is at hand.
- 2
Combine the ground turkey with taco seasoning and form it into 8 equal balls, each weighing 2 ounces.
- 3
Place a large griddle, black stone, or cast iron skillet on medium-high heat to warm up.
- 4
Once heated, apply a light spray of oil. In batches, add the turkey balls, ensuring there’s adequate space between them for spreading, and cover with parchment paper.
- 5
With a press or a large spatula supported by a mallet, firmly press down on each ball to flatten them as much as possible. Cook until the bottoms develop a nice brown crust.
- 6
Carefully flip each patty over, adding approximately 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese on top, followed by a tortilla.
- 7
Firmly press down on each tortilla using the press. Cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the turkey to brown and the cheese to melt. Flip and continue cooking for another minute until the tortillas achieve a slight char. Move the tortillas to a plate with the meat side facing up.

Garnish with sliced avocado and pico de gallo, and add salsa if you prefer. Fold the tacos and enjoy immediately.
