Crispy tortilla snack idea

Ingredients

• 12 pieces Small Corn Tortillas (6‑inch, preferably fresh)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil (high smoke‑point oil such as canola or grapeseed)
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea Salt (large pinch for seasoning the oil)
• 1 pound Ground Turkey (lean (93% lean) or your preferred blend)
• 2 tablespoons Dan-O’s Seasoning Taco Blend (or any Mexican‑style taco seasoning)
• 1 cup Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso quesadilla blend)
• 0.25 cup Diced Onion (white or yellow onion, finely diced)
• 2 tablespoons Hot Sauce (your favorite brand, adjust to heat preference)
• 3 tablespoons Cilantro Lime Sauce (mix 2 tbsp mayo, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp chopped cilantro, pinch salt)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 whole Lime Wedges (cut into wedges for serving)

Instructions

1. Make Cilantro Lime Sauce

   In a small mixing bowl combine 2 Tbsp mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 Tbsp chopped cilantro and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until smooth.

   Time: PT5M

2. Heat Oil

   Add 2 Tbsp vegetable oil to a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt into the oil to test; when it sizzles, the oil is ready.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: Medium‑high heat

3. Crisp the Tortillas

   Working in batches, place 2‑3 small corn tortillas flat in the hot oil. Let them fry for about 15‑20 seconds, then use tongs to flip and gently twist each tortilla to crisp both sides. Remove with tongs and set on paper towels to drain.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium‑high heat

4. Cook the Turkey

   In the same skillet (add a splash more oil if needed), add the 1 lb ground turkey. Sprinkle with 2 Tbsp Dan‑O’s Seasoning Taco Blend, season with a pinch of sea salt, and break up with a spatula. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5‑7 minutes.

   Time: PT7M

   Temperature: Medium heat

5. Assemble the Bites

   Place each crisped tortilla cup on a serving plate. Spoon a generous amount of cooked turkey into the center, sprinkle with 0.25 cup diced onion, then top with 1 cup shredded cheese. Drizzle 2 Tbsp hot sauce and 3 Tbsp cilantro lime sauce over each bite. Garnish with chopped cilantro and a lime wedge on the side.

   Time: PT5M

6. Serve Hot

   Serve the tortilla bites immediately while the tortillas are still crisp. Offer extra hot sauce and lime wedges at the table.

   Time: PT1M
