Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chili powder, garlic, onion, chipotle and 1 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add the turkey stock, tomatoes, 1/2 cup water and half the tortilla chips; bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, uncovered, until the soup has reduced slightly, about 25 minutes. Add the corn and cook for 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the turkey and lime juice. Adjust the seasoning with salt, if needed. Divide the soup among 4 bowls. Top with the cheese, cilantro, the remaining tortilla chips and avocado, if using.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put an oven rack in the lowest position with a 6-inch clearance above. Cut eight 6-inch squares of heavy-duty foil and eight 1-inch squares of heavy-duty foil. Using the larger foil squares, wrap each sugar cone, molding to the shape of the cone to cover completely and tucking in excess. Spray the outside of the foil generously with cooking spray and set aside.
- Add 1 teaspoon canola oil to a medium pan over medium-high heat, then add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until the onions are soft, about 4 minutes. Add the beef and garlic and cook, breaking the meat apart with a spoon, 2 minutes, then add the chili powder and 1 teaspoon salt and stir well to incorporate. Add the salsa and 1/3 cup of water and cook, breaking apart the meat and stirring, until the sauce is bubbly and the beef is browned, 4 minutes more. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Brush both sides of each of the tortillas using the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Wrap a tortilla around a sugar cone and secure the seam with a toothpick. Trim the top of the tortilla with scissors to make an even edge. Put it on a large baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and cones.
- Bake for 5 minutes, then wrap the tip of each cone with the small foil squares to keep the tips from burning. Return to the oven until the cones are lightly browned and crisp and hold their shape, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove the foil tips, and carefully remove the foil cone inserts and the toothpicks. Unwrap and reserve the sugar cones for another use. If the tortilla cones are still soft, return them, empty, to the oven, to cook until crisp, 1 to 2 minutes more.
- Meanwhile reheat the meat filling and set it out along with the cheese, avocado, cilantro, sour cream, jalapenos, tomatoes, salsa, hot sauce and lime wedges for a taco bar. Serve the cones hot from the oven, allowing each eater to build his or her own taco.

CORN TORTILLAS
This is the real thing! A simple mixture of masa harina and water results in the most wonderful corn tortillas you ever tasted. The secret is to use a cast iron pan! You can buy masa harina at Mexican grocery stores or in the ethnic food aisle of large supermarkets.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, mix together masa harina and hot water until thoroughly combined. Turn dough onto a clean surface and knead until pliable and smooth. If dough is too sticky, add more masa harina; if it begins to dry out, sprinkle with water. Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap and allow to stand for 30 minutes.
- Preheat a cast iron skillet or griddle to medium-high.
- Divide dough into 15 equal-size balls. Using a tortilla press, a rolling pin, or your hands, press each ball of dough flat between two sheets of plastic wrap.
- Immediately place tortilla in preheated pan and allow to cook for approximately 30 seconds, or until browned and slightly puffy. Turn tortilla over to brown on second side for approximately 30 seconds more, then transfer to a plate. Repeat process with each ball of dough. Keep tortillas covered with a towel to stay warm and moist until ready to serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right tortillas: Use sturdy tortillas that won't tear easily. Corn tortillas are a good option, as they are less likely to break than flour tortillas.
- Warm the tortillas before filling them: This will make them more pliable and less likely to crack.
- Don't overfill the cones: Otherwise, they will be difficult to hold and eat.
- Use a variety of fillings: This will make your cones more interesting and flavorful. Some good options include shredded turkey, black beans, corn, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
- Be creative with your toppings: Some good options include shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and crumbled bacon.
Conclusion:
Turkey tortilla cones are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can be customized to suit your own taste. With a little creativity, you can create a variety of different cones that will please everyone.
