Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1.5 teaspoons Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium chicken broth
- 6 pieces Whole wheat tortillas (6-inch)
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 medium Tomato, diced
- 1 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 1 lime Lime wedges
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground turkey to the skillet. Cook and break up the meat with a wooden spoon until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the turkey with the spices.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and any excess liquid to evaporate.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas by placing them in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side or wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 20 seconds.
To assemble, place a portion of the turkey mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve each chalupa with a lime wedge on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
