Instructions

Step 1

Start by mixing the ground turkey with chopped cilantro, diced jalapeno, and your taco seasoning in the slow cooker. Pour in enough chicken broth so that it almost covers everything. Let it cook on low for at least three hours, allowing all the flavors to come together. When you're ready to eat, warm up a griddle over medium-low heat and toast the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they're nice and warm. Then, simply spoon the turkey mixture onto the tortillas and enjoy!

Storage Tips

Store any leftover filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Keep taco shells separate to avoid sogginess. Reheat the filling gently on the stove or microwave before serving.
