For extra crispiness, press the tortillas gently after folding them to ensure they stay closed while baking.
You can substitute ground turkey with ground chicken or beef if preferred.
Use your favorite BBQ sauce to customize the flavor of the filling.
Can I use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas?
Yes, but flour tortillas may not crisp up as much as corn tortillas. Adjust baking time as needed.
How do I prevent the tortillas from breaking?
Heating the tortillas briefly in the oven before filling them makes them more pliable and less likely to break.
Can I make the filling ahead of time?
Yes, the turkey mixture can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat before assembling the tacos.
What cheese works best for these tacos?
Shredded cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend cheese work well for this recipe.
Can I freeze these tacos?
It's best to freeze the turkey filling separately and assemble the tacos fresh for optimal texture.
