Method
step 1
Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat and cook the onion with a pinch of salt for 8-10 mins. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, then stir in the chipotle paste, cumin, 1 tsp paprika, the oregano and tomato purée. Cook for 3-4 mins until dark, then transfer half the mixture to a saucepan.
step 2
Pour the chicken stock into the casserole, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 3-4 mins before stirring in the turkey meat. Season and stir well to coat.
step 3
Pour the gravy into a small saucepan. Scatter in 1/2 tsp paprika, bring to a simmer and season.
step 4
Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Fill the tortillas with 1 heaped tbsp of the turkey, the mozzarella, jalapeño and onion, then fold in half. Fry on each side for a few minutes until golden and the cheese has melted, then put on a serving platter. Repeat with the rest.
step 5
Serve the gravy with the tacos for dipping, with a sprinkle of coriander, the lime wedges and sliced avocado.
