• 2 Tbsp vegetable oil ($0.08)
• ½ cup sour cream (120g, $0.26)

• ¼ tsp smoked paprika ($0.04)
• ¼ tsp garlic powder ($0.03)
• ⅛ tsp salt ($0.01)
• ½ tsp honey ($0.03)

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather and prep all ingredients and preheat oven to 425℉.

2. 2

   Wrap a damp paper towel around corn tortillas and microwave for 20 seconds to make them soft and pliable.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, combine ground turkey, drained diced tomatoes with green chilis, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until fully combined.

4. 4

   Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and drizzle with vegetable oil. Lay tortillas flat on the sheet, coating both sides lightly with oil.

5. 5

   On one half of each tortilla, spread 2–3 tablespoons of the turkey mixture and press lightly.

6. 6

   On the other half, spread a thin layer of refried beans.

7. 7

   Sprinkle shredded cheese over the taco and fold tortillas in half so meat and beans are on opposite sides. Press lightly to seal.

8. 8

   Bake for 25-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the turkey is fully cooked (165°F internally on a meat thermometer) and the tortillas are golden and crispy.**

9. 9

   While tacos bake, whisk together sour cream, lime juice, chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and honey in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.

10. 10

    Serve the sheet pan tacos warm with the dipping sauce and any additional toppings you like, such as sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, or a squeeze of fresh lime.
