Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 corn tortillas
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup water
- olive oil spray
- 2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup salsa
- 0.25 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly spray each side of the corn tortillas with olive oil spray. Drape the tortillas over the oven racks to form a taco shape and bake for 8-10 minutes until crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
While tortillas are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with olive oil spray.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until the turkey is browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the low-sodium taco seasoning and water. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
Once the tortillas are crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Fill each crispy tortilla with the ground turkey mixture, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and cilantro.
Serve immediately with salsa and lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.
Enjoy your delicious low-fat crispy tacos!
