The title of the salsa for these turkey fajitas is sort of playful, since most people
don't consider tomatoes a fruit (although they qualify botanically) and avocados just
barely make it as a fruit by culinary tradition. These two delicious ingredients make up
two-thirds of the three-fruit salsa.
- 3/4 lb. thinly sliced turkey breast cutlets, cut into 1/2" strips
- 1 large red onion, halved lengthwise then sliced crosswise into thin
- half-rounds
- 2 T/ plus 2 tsp. fresh lime juice
- 3-1/2 t. cumin
- 1/4 t. black pepper
- 1/4 t. salt
- 1-1/2 cups quartered red and yellow cherry tomatoes
- 1 mango, diced
- 1/4 cup diced green bell pepper
- 1/4 t. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Four 8" flour tortillas (98% fat free)
- Half a medium avocado, diced
Prep Time: 50 minutes
In 7" x 11" baking pan, combine turkey, onion, 1 T of lime juice, 2 t of
cumin, black pepper, and 1/8 t of salt; toss to combine. Cover and let stand for 20
minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375ºF and start to prepare salsa.
In medium bowl, gently toss cherry tomatoes,(mix the cherry tomatoes for color), mango,
bell pepper, red pepper flakes and remaining 1 T plus 2 t lime juice, 1-1/2 t. cumin and
1/8 t. salt. Cover and let stand at room temperature until serving time.
In small bowl, blend olive oil with 1 T water. Drizzle turkey with olive oil mixture,
cover loosely with foil and bake 17 to 20 minutes, stirring several times, until turkey is
cooked through and onion is crisp-tender. Halfway through turkey cooking time, wrap
tortillas in foil and place in oven to warm up.
Gently fold avocado into salsa. Place tortillas on warmed plates and top each tortilla
with 2 T of salsa. Top with turkey and onion mixture and roll up. Top with remaining
salsa. (Use salsa of your choice).
