Pico de Gallo and Turkey Tacos

Growing up we always had tacos on corn tortillas. I remember the first time I tried to use a corn tortilla to make a quesadilla and I was so shocked that it didn't taste good! I loved tacos so why were these quesadillas so bad?! Turns out I only like corn tortillas when they're fried. I love these tacos so much! A lightly fried tortilla, ground turkey with taco seasoning, and fresh pico de gallo on top. It is so fresh! A little spicy, a little bite, and a little sweet. Everything goes together so well.

Ingredients:
1 pound Roma tomatoes, diced
1/2 a medium red onion, diced
1/2 a jalapeno with seeds removed, diced
1 ear of corn, charred and corn cut off the cob
1/4 c cilantro chopped
Juice from 2 limes

Dice/cut everything up and combine in a bowl. Add the cilantro last. Let sit in the fridge for at least 20 minutes so everything can marry together and get delicious!

For my tacos I just heat about 1 cup of vegetable oil up in a small pot to 325-350 degrees Fahrenheit. Meanwhile start browning and crumbling some ground turkey (I like 85%/15%). When oil is hot enough, put in small white corn tortillas, one at a time and let cook for about 10-15 seconds, until the edges start to get slightly crispy and then flip and do another 10-15 seconds on the other side. When turkey is cooked through, drain and rinse in hot water. Return to the pan and add 3 T of taco seasoning and 3 T of water. Start building your tacos and enjoy!
