Ingredients:

1 lb. 99% Fat free ground turkey breast
10 Mini Peppers (I used red, orange, & yellow)
1/2 Medium onion
2 Roma Tomatoes
Shredded lettuce or red cabbage
Light Sour Cream
1 Avocado
Corn Tortillas
Cooking spray (Pam)
Garlic Salt
Black Pepper
1 Packet Lawry's Taco Seasoning



This recipe is super easy. I grilled up my peppers and onions first, and set them aside. Turn your skillet on high heat, spray with pam, and saute them until they're the consistancy you like:

Once I'm done grilling the peppers, I set them aside and start on the ground turkey. I set my skillet (same one I used for the peppers) to just over medium heat. I added garlic salt, pepper, and even a little crushed red pepper for some kick. Season it to taste, but don't over salt it cuz you'll be adding taco seasoning. The meat will release SOME water, but not much. Add about 3/4 cup to the mean once it's almost done. Sprinkle taco seasoning over top of meat. Mix it all in and finish cooking til most of water evaporates and sauce thickens:

WHILE THE MEAT IS COOKING, you can utilize your time to cut up the produce at the same time. Chop your tomatoes and your lettuce/cabbage, and mash up your avocado and add some garlic salt to it. Shred some cheese if you like, for the others in your family that might want it. Cheese is not included in the points for this taco:

Instead if frying, microwaving, or heating your shells in foil in the oven, we like to give ours a little added texture by using pam and grilling them up in the skillet. Use high heat. We spray the pan, throw down a tortilla, spray the face up side of the tortilla, and add a dash of salt. Turn the torilla over so that both sides get grilled:

  1. So I just visited to see if you'd posted anything new and I didn't eat lunch today so I'm starving (obvi), and your turkey tacos made it soooo much worse. That looks so tasty to me right now!

    ALSO, did you know that there's a full gram of fiber in just one corn tortilla? Also that they are delicious? I don't know why anyone eats flour...

    So. Hungry. Don't worry, there's a senior missionary who works here who gives me a piece of candy from his pocket every time he passes my desk, so I've built up quite a stash of butterscotch disks. WAY better than healthy delicious flavorful turkey tacos. Take THAT, diet!
