Directions
Instructions
- Make the cranberry salsa: In a food processor, combine cranberry sauce, red onion, orange, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- Flavor the turkey: In a skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add shredded turkey, chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Toss and cook 2–3 minutes until warmed through and coated in the spices.
- Assemble the tacos: Place a Stonefire Mini Naan on a plate. (tip: microwave naans for 10-20 seconds so naan is “foldable”) Sprinkle with a little shredded cheese, then add a layer of the seasoned turkey. Top with a little more cheese. Fold the naan in half gently, pressing lightly.
- Fry for crispiness: In the same skillet or a clean one, fry each taco for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Top each crispy taco with cranberry salsa and any optional toppings you like. Serve warm.
