Method for Turkey taco bowls
-
To make the Mexican seasoning, mix the ingredients together in a bowl.
-
Put the turkey mince and Mexican seasoning into a large bowl and mix well with your hands.
-
Heat half the olive oil in a frying pan over a high heat and cook the onions, spring onions and peppers for 3 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside.
-
Heat the remaining oil in the same pan and cook the turkey mince for 4 minutes, or until browned, making sure you break it up as finely as possible with a wooden spoon.
-
Add the chopped tomatoes, kidney beans and a pinch of salt and pepper. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
-
Stir in the cooked vegetables and most of the coriander, and simmer for another 2 minutes.
-
Evenly cover the base of four bowls with the tortilla chips. Divide the turkey mixture between the bowls and top each with a tablespoon of crème fraîche. Sprinkle over the remaining coriander and serve.
