Ingredients
  

  • 454 g ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp Mexican chili powder
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp cooking oil
  • 4 10-inch tortillas
  • 1 cup mashed sweet potato
  • 1 cup pepper jack cheese grated
  • 1 avocado peeled, pit removed, and thinly sliced
  • ½ cup tomato diced
  • 2 cups iceberg lettuce shredded
  • ¼ cup pickled jalapenos
  • ½ cup salsa
  • ½ cup sour cream or greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup cilantro picked
  • 2 tsp hot sauce or to taste
  • 1 lime cut into 4 pieces

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the turkey, chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Mix well. Cover the bowl and put it in the refrigerator for one hour.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cooking oil to the pan along with the turkey. Cook the chorizo for 8 to 10 minutes breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Once cooked, take the pan off the heat and set it aside.
  • Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and place two tortillas on each pan.
  • Divide the mashed sweet potato among the four tortillas and spread it as you would with pizza sauce.
  • Top the sweet potato with the grated cheese and the chorizo.
  • Bake the tortillas for 10 minutes at 400°f.
  • Remove the tortillas from the oven and top with the avocado, tomato, lettuce, pickled jalapeño, salsa, sour cream, cilantro, and hot sauce. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice.
  • Cut the Tlayuda into four and serve.
