3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 pounds grape tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

20 taco shells
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 cup coarsely shredded cheddar
1 cup sour cream

Directions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Add turkey and cook, stirring and breaking up lumps, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

Transfer with a slotted spoon to bowl with turkey. Add 1/2 tablespoon oil and the tomatoes to skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 4 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to bowl with turkey and discard juices. Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil and the corn to skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until corn is tender, about 2 minutes. Return ingredients in bowl to skillet; stir in beans and salsa. Cook until hot, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and stir in cilantro; salt and pepper to taste, for filling.
