Instructions
Queso-Style Ground Turkey
- In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until it’s shimmering. Add the minced onion and garlic and let cook for a minute until softened. Next, add the ground turkey, salt, cumin, and pepper flakes, making sure to break up the turkey with a spoon. Cook the turkey until golden brown, approx. 3 minutes.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and add in the grated pepper jack cheese. Stir frequently until the cheese is combined.
- Remove from heat and keep warm until ready to use. This will keep refrigerated for up to 4 days; reheat slowly over low heat in a pan on the stovetop, stirring frequently.
Walking Tacos
- On a serving platter or bowl, open each bag of corn chips and gently fold the tops 1/4 of the way down.
- Carefully spoon Queso-Style Ground Turkey into each bag, making sure to leave room for the other toppings. Add the shredded lettuce, radish, cotija cheese, jalapeños, green onions, and a dollop of sour cream. Put a fork in each bag and serve with hot sauce on the side.
