Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Lean ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium taco seasoning
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Low fat cheddar cheese
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (as a substitute for sour cream)
- 10 pieces Corn taco shells
- 1 bag Nacho cheese tortilla chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread the corn taco shells on a baking sheet. Warm them in the oven for 5 minutes.
In the meantime, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground turkey and cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes.
Drain any excess fat and return the skillet to the heat. Stir in the low-sodium taco seasoning and water. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.
While the meat is cooking, crush the nacho cheese tortilla chips into fine crumbs. Set aside for later use.
Once the taco shells are warmed, remove them from the oven. Spread a thin layer of crushed tortilla chips inside each shell, acting as a flavorful 'lining' to resemble the Doritos Locos style.
Spoon the cooked turkey mixture evenly into each taco shell.
Top each taco with a sprinkle of low fat cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of Greek yogurt for a tangy and creamy topping.
Serve immediately, or wrap them individually in foil to keep warm.
