This post combines two of my great loves, tacos and holiday drinks!
A great holiday party calls for fabulous food and drinks! And who doesn’t love tacos, truly!? It’s always a crowd-pleasing fave. However, food for parties is best served bite size. That way you can easily mix and mingle.
So today I've created a teeny tiny recipe that is perfect as an appetizer for your upcoming celebration.
These tacos are healthy little bites of crunchy taco shells, seasoned turkey and homemade cranberry jalapeno salsa. They pair perfectly with my new favorite soda of the season, Sprite® Cranberry Zero.
The cranberry element of both the tacos and Sprite® will make your party the merriest and berriest of all!
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?
- Approximately 12 flour tortillas- I used gluten free
- 2 cups shredded turkey
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 12 oz bag fresh cranberries
- 2 fresh jalapenos
- 3 green onions
- 1 cup cilantro
- 2 tablespoon honey
- Juice of ½ orange
- Juice of 1 lime
- dash of salt
You can find Sprite® Cranberry Zero at your local Kroger or Kroger banner store.
Without a doubt, Coca-Cola® and Kroger will make sure to provide the perfect products for every host.
Another beverage I love to have during the holidays is the DASANI® Sparkling. It's a great mixer and comes in 14 flavors. All if which are amazing without adding any sugar!

HOW DO I MAKE MINI TURKEY TACOS WITH JALAPENO CRANBERRY SALSA?
It's up to you whether you want to serve the tacos as soft or hard. But if you prefer crispy, like I do, simply cut small circles out of flour tortillas using a cookie cutter or anything round (I used a metal measuring cup).
Place the tortillas in between the cups of an upside down muffin tin.
Bake at 375 degrees F for approximately 6-8 minutes.
Next, combine 2 cups of shredded turkey with 1 teaspoon of cumin, 1 teaspoon of ground coriander and ½ teaspoon of paprika.
To create the salsa: Place 12 oz of fresh cranberries in a food processor and pulse until they are broken down.
Place cranberries in a mixing bowl, along with 2 chopped jalapenos, 3 chopped green onions, 1 cup chopped cilantro, the juice of ½ orange, juice of 1 lime and a dash of salt. Stir well.
To create tacos: Carefully spoon preferred amount of seasoned turkey and salsa into each mini taco shell.
