Craving crispy tacos without standing over a skillet all evening? These sheet pan oven tacos are comfort food that smells like a simple, generous dinner, a little noisy when the tortilla cracks under your teeth.
Ingredients :
- Tortillas — They become the crispy taco shell, so quality really matters. Corn tortillas give more flavor and a drier texture, while flour tortillas bend better if you want to avoid cracks.
- Ground turkey — It brings a light but hearty filling that absorbs spices well. Choose not-too-dry ground turkey, or substitute with ground chicken or lean beef for a richer flavor.
- Refried beans — They serve as a creamy base and help the filling stay in place in the tortilla. Use plain or slightly spicy version, and loosen with a spoonful of water if too thick to spread.
- Tomatoes with green chiles — They add moisture, acidity, and a vegetal aroma that wakes up the turkey. Drain well, otherwise the filling soaks the tortillas and the crispiness disappears.
