DIRECTIONS

Heat the oil in a dutch oven or large saucepan over medium heat.
Add the turkey and onion to the pan and cook, stirring often, until the onion softens, about 7 minutes.
Stir in the paprika, cumin, oregano, garlic, cayenne, water, and 3/4 tsp salt until well combined then bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
Warm up the tortillas then fill them with the turkey mixture, cheese, lettuce, corn, and jalapeno.
