Adobo-Style Ground Turkey Tacos
Instead of using adobo as a marinade, you can use it as a sauce and make these easy ground turkey tacos. The sauce adds so much flavor and it's all very easy to make.

Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 finely chopped chipotle peppers plus 2 tablespoons of the sauce
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground turkey
- Tortillas and taco toppings for serving
Instructions
- Whisk the chopped peppers, adobo sauce, garlic, all of the seasonings, orange juice, vinegar, and cilantro in a bowl. Set the mixture aside.
- Heat the olive in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the turkey and break it apart as it cooks until it’s no longer pink.
- Add the adobo mixture to the pan and stir. Continue stirring as the sauce simmers until it’s thickened, about one to two minutes.
- Serve with tortillas, cheese, salsa – anything you like on tacos!
Notes
For serving: Add any taco toppings you like! I like pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, green onions, and cheese.
Storage: The turkey taco meat will keep in the refrigerator for four days.
