instructions
    1

    Begin by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat for about 1 minute.

    2

    Dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic and jalapeno.

    3

    Add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

    4

    Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook for about 7-10 minutes, breaking it apart with a spatula until fully cooked.

    5

    Stir in the jalapeno and taco seasoning, mixing well to combine. Allow it to cook for an additional 5 minutes.

    6

    While the turkey mixture is cooking, warm the tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for about 30 seconds.

    7

    Prepare the toppings by chopping the cilantro and slicing the lime into wedges.

    8

    Once the turkey is ready, assemble your tacos by placing a generous portion of the turkey filling on each tortilla.

    9

    Top with cilantro and a dollop of sour cream, and serve with lime on the side.
