INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR SUBSTITUTIONS:
SWEET POTATOES:
- We have to use sweet potatoes, as they provide a crispy texture and natural sweetness. As a replacement, you can use butternut squash or carrot fries.
GROUND TURKEY:
- Use lean ground turkey, which provides a high-protein and flavorful filling.
GREEK YOGURT:
- For a velvety topping with more protein, we choose Greek yogurt. You can substitute it with unsweetened dairy-free yogurt.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- We use cheddar cheese for its rich, melty texture and bold flavor. You can replace it with mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or dairy-free cheese.
AVOCADO:
- We use fresh avocado for its creamy texture and healthy fats.
FRESH HERBS:
- Use fresh cilantro for a bright and refreshing flavor.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First, warm the oven to 375°F & coat a sheet with baking paper.
- Toss the sweet potato fries with olive oil, salt, turmeric, paprika, garlic powder, pepper, cumin, & onion powder.
- Bake the fries for 35 minutes, then warm olive oil in the skillet over moderate flame.
- Cook garlic for 30 seconds, then cook turkey till it gets brown.
- Add cumin, smoked paprika, turmeric, oregano, chili powder, and salsa, then simmer for 4 minutes.
- Put the baked fries into the bowls and garnish their surface with crushed tortilla chips.
- Spoon the taco meat on top and include shredded cheddar cheese, then bake for 15 minutes.
- Lastly, include avocado, tomato, green onions, cilantro, jalapeños, and Greek yogurt mixed with lime juice.
TIPS:
