Ingredients
- 1 pound ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (to taste)
- Diced tomatoes (to taste)
- Sliced jalapeños (to taste)
- Sturdy crunchy crackers or tortilla chips
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound of ground turkey until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Break the turkey apart using a wooden spoon as it cooks.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons of taco seasoning until well combined.
- Remove the turkey mixture from heat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 4 ounces of softened cream cheese and ½ cup of sour cream.
- Use an electric mixer on low speed until smooth and creamy.
- If desired, mix in half of the chopped cilantro for added flavor.
- On each cracker (or tortilla chip), spread about 1 tablespoon of the creamy mixture evenly across the surface.
- Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of your seasoned turkey mixture on top of each cracker.
Notes
Storage: Store any leftover Taco Crackers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the crispness of the crackers, consider storing the turkey mixture and creamy mixture separately and assembling them just before serving.
Reheating: To reheat the turkey mixture, warm it in a skillet over low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. Avoid reheating the assembled crackers as they may become soggy; instead, prepare fresh crackers with the heated turkey mixture and creamy topping.
Serving: Serve your Taco Crackers on a large platter for easy sharing. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and sliced jalapeños on the side to allow guests to customize their toppings to their liking.
Chef’s Tip: For an extra kick, mix in some shredded cheese or a dash of hot sauce into the creamy mixture before spreading it on the crackers. This adds depth of flavor and enhances the overall taste of the dish.
