Instructions

Place the chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, smoked paprika, cumin, brown sugar, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Stir to combine.
Heat the oil in a large pan over medium high heat.
Add the turkey and break it into smaller pieces with a spatula, for 1-2 minutes.
Add the onion to the pan.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until turkey is cooked through and onion is soft, 5-6 minutes.
Add the spice mixture, tomato sauce and water to the pan. Stir to combine.
Simmer for 5-6 minutes or until sauce has started to thicken.
Spoon the turkey into the tortillas and add toppings of your choice. Serve immediately and enjoy.
