Yield : 16 tacos

Ingredients

  • 1 yam, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¾ pound ground turkey
  • ½ cup chopped sweet onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup tomatillo salsa
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 16 warm flour tortillas

Directions

  • Put the diced yam in a microwave-safe bowl; cook in the microwave until cooked through and fork-tender, stirring once, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Coat the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil and place over medium heat; cook and stir the turkey until crumbled and evenly brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the onion, garlic, and jalapeno pepper into the turkey and continue cooking until the onions begin to caramelize, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with the chili powder, cumin, Cajun seasoning, and salt. Pour the salsa over everything; fold the sweet potatoes into the mixture. Allow the mixture to cook until the excess moisture evaporates. Garnish with the cilantro. Serve with the warm tortillas.
