Ingredients:

• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 jalapeno, diced
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 8 small tortillas
• 1 lime, cut into wedges

Kitchen Tools:

• skillet
• baking sheet

Preparation:

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with 1 tbsp of olive oil, cumin, paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly crispy.

In a skillet, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced jalapeno. Cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Add the ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until the turkey is browned and cooked through. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

Once the sweet potatoes are roasted and the turkey mixture is cooked, assemble your tacos. Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of the turkey mixture and top with the roasted sweet potatoes. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top for an extra burst of flavor.

Serving:

The total weight of the cooked dish is approximately 1200g. This recipe makes 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 300g. Each serving is estimated to be around 400 calories.

Clever Tip:

For an extra kick of spice, add a dollop of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce to your tacos before serving. The heat pairs perfectly with the savory turkey and sweet potatoes.
