Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Lean ground turkey (93% lean)
- 2 tbsp Low-sodium taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 6 Single-serving bags of baked tortilla chips (such as baked plain or nacho-flavor chips)
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup Tomatoes, diced
- 0.75 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt (as a sour cream substitute)
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 Green onions, sliced
Instructions
In a large non-stick skillet, cook the lean ground turkey over medium heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked (approximately 7-8 minutes).
Add the low-sodium taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet. Stir well to evenly coat the turkey. Let the mixture simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
Prepare the toppings by shredding the romaine lettuce, dicing the tomatoes, shredding the reduced-fat cheddar cheese (if it's a block), and chopping the cilantro. Set aside.
Gently open the bags of baked tortilla chips, being careful not to tear the sides. Crush the chips lightly with your hands, leaving them inside the bag.
Spoon about 1/4 cup of the cooked turkey mixture into each bag on top of the crushed chips.
Add a handful of shredded lettuce, a spoonful of diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese to each bag.
Top each bag with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions.
Serve immediately with a fork for a fun and easy way to enjoy tacos on the go!
