Tips:

Choose the right tortillas: For soft tacos, use corn or flour tortillas that are about 6 inches in diameter. Make sure they are fresh and pliable, not dry or brittle.

Season your turkey: Before cooking the turkey, season it with a variety of spices. This will help to give it flavor and depth of taste. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Cook the turkey properly: The turkey should be cooked until it is cooked through but still tender and moist. This will usually take about 15-20 minutes per side over medium heat.

Shred the turkey: Once the turkey is cooked, shred it with two forks or a meat shredder. This will make it easier to fill the tacos.

Assemble the tacos: To assemble the tacos, place a tortilla on a plate. Add some shredded turkey, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and any other desired toppings. Fold the tortilla in half and enjoy!

Get creative with your toppings: There are endless possibilities when it comes to toppings for turkey soft tacos. Some popular options include cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and pico de gallo.
