Method

step 1

Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Tip in the turkey mince, then use your spoon to break up the mince into smaller bits. Season and fry for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
step 2

Meanwhile, blitz the avocados in a blender with the juice of 1 lime, the soured cream and a good splash of water to make a creamy sauce. Season to taste. Mix together the chopped tomatoes, red onion, coriander, jalapeños and brine (if using) with the remaining lime juice. Season the salsa to taste.
step 3

Sprinkle the fajita seasoning into the turkey mince pan. Mix well, then fry for a further 2 minutes until the mince is brown and crisp.
step 4

Heat the taco shells following pack instructions and bring everything to the table so people can help themselves. Serve with extra jalapeños if you like it spicy.
