If there’s one thing Bridge and I eat almost every week, it’s tacos. They’re my favorite food because they’re endlessly adaptable: breakfast tacos, fish tacos, sweet potato tacos, shrimp tacos, or classic meat tacos—you can change them up however you like.
When we want a quick, simple dinner or aren’t sure what to make, 99% of the time we reach for this taco recipe. These tacos are flavorful, customizable, and come together in about 20 minutes. For extra depth, try sautéing thinly sliced bell pepper and red onion in a separate skillet with a pinch of chili powder and cumin until the edges char. It adds great texture and smoky flavor—give it a try!

Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the ground turkey (or chicken) and brown, breaking it into small pieces. Sprinkle in taco seasoning and cook until the meat is cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat.

Assemble the tacos. Warm tortillas over an open flame or in a dry skillet until lightly charred. Layer with mixed greens, seasoned meat, chopped bell pepper, and a generous spoonful of guacamole. Top with extra diced red onion and cilantro if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
