Baked Turkey Tacos
1 pound spicy ground turkey sausage
1 15-ounce can refried beans
2 cups Roma tomatoes, diced (about 6)
1 teaspoon fresh garlic, pressed (1-2 cloves, depending on size)
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon cumin
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
12 6-inch whole grain flour tortillas
¼ cup avocado oil
Optional toppings: Cotija cheese, chopped green onions, chopped cilantro, avocado, shredded red cabbage, quick-pickled red onions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Brown meat in a skillet, drain fat, if necessary and return to pan. Stir in beans, tomatoes, garlic and spices. Brush each tortilla with oil, fold each in half, then in half again. Place one inside each cup of the tin and unfold the top flap to make a cup.
Divide meat and bean mixture evenly into the cups. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the shells are crispy and starting to brown. Add desired toppings.
