Why This Dish Is Hard To Resist
These tacos are packed with warm spices and tender turkey, making them a flavorful and healthy meal option. They come together quickly, perfect for busy weeknights when you want something satisfying without a long prep time.
Directions
Tos the turkey, chopped cilantro, diced jalapeño, and taco seasoning into your slow cooker. Pour in just enough chicken broth to nearly cover everything. Set the slow cooker to low and let it cook for at least three hours, so all those flavors come together nicely. When you're almost ready to eat, warm up a griddle over medium-low heat. Heat the tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they're soft and pliable. Then, spoon the turkey mixture onto the tortillas, and you’re all set to enjoy!

Best Storage Tips
