Ingredients:

  • 454 g ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp Mexican chili powder
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 2 tsp cooking oil
  • 4 10-inch tortillas
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato
  • 1 cup pepper Jack cheese, grated
  • 1 avocado, peeled, pit removed, and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup tomato, diced
  • 2 cups iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • 1/4 cup pickled jalapeño rings
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves, picked
  • 1 lime, cut into 4 pieces
  • Hot sauce to taste

Directions:

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the turkey, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Mix well. Cover the bowl and put it in the refrigerator for one hour.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cooking oil to the pan along with the turkey. Cook the chorizo for 8 to 10 minutes breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Once cooked, take the pan off the heat and set it aside.
  3. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and place two tortillas on each pan.
  4. Divide the mashed sweet potato among the four tortillas and spread it as you would with pizza sauce.
  5. Top the sweet potato with the grated cheese and the chorizo.
  6. Bake the tortillas for 10 minutes at 400°f.
  7. Remove the tortillas from the oven and top with the avocado, tomato, lettuce, pickled jalapeño, salsa, sour cream, cilantro, and hot sauce. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice.
  8. Cut the Tlayuda into four and serve.
