Ingredients

1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced

1 tablespoon olive oil

3/4 pound ground turkey

1/2 cup chopped sweet onion

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup Pace Picante Salsa

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Put the diced sweet potato in a microwave-safe bowl; cook in the microwave until cooked through and fork-tender, stirring once, 5 to 7 minutes.

Coat the bottom of a large skillet with olive oil and place over medium heat; cook and stir the turkey until crumbled and evenly brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the onion, garlic, and jalapeno pepper into the turkey and continue cooking until the onions begin to caramelize, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with the chili powder, cumin, Cajun seasoning, and salt. Pour the salsa over everything; fold the sweet potatoes into the mixture. Allow the mixture to cook until the excess moisture evaporates.

Garnish with the cilantro. Serve with the warm tortillas.
