Ingredients

olive oil 1 tbsp
turkey mince 500g
avocados 2
limes 2, juiced
soured cream 2 tbsp
tomatoes 3 medium and ripe, chopped
red onion ½, finely chopped
coriander a small bunch, finely chopped

fajita seasoning 30g sachet

Method

Step 1

Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Tip in the turkey mince, then use your spoon to break up the mince into smaller bits. Season and fry for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2

Meanwhile, blitz the avocados in a blender with the juice of 1 lime, the soured cream and a good splash of water to make a creamy sauce. Season to taste. Mix together the chopped tomatoes, red onion, coriander, jalapeños and brine (if using) with the remaining lime juice. Season the salsa to taste.
Step 3

Sprinkle the fajita seasoning into the turkey mince pan. Mix well, then fry for a further 2 minutes until the mince is brown and crisp.
Step 4

Heat the taco shells following pack instructions and bring everything to the table so people can help themselves. Serve with extra jalapeños if you like it spicy.
