Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp granulated garlic
- 1.5 tsp dill (fresh or dehydrated)
- 1 can (15 oz) garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
- 3/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup cucumber, quartered slices
- 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tbsp Greek salad dressing
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium‑high heat, add ground turkey, salt, pepper, granulated garlic, and dill. Cook, breaking up with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 6‑8 minutes.
- While the turkey cooks, prepare the salad filling: in a bowl combine drained garbanzo beans, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, red onion, crumbled feta, and Greek salad dressing. Toss gently to mix.
- Warm corn or flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Assemble each taco by spreading a generous spoonful of the garbanzo bean salad on a tortilla, then topping with the cooked ground turkey.
- Serve immediately with extra feta and dressing on the side, and enjoy your flavorful ground turkey smash tacos.
Notes
Tip: For extra crunch, add sliced radishes. Substitute garbanzo beans with black beans for a different texture. Store leftover filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat turkey gently before serving.
