Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey (lean, 93% lean or higher)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning (low sodium)
- 1 cup Water
- 8 Corn tortillas (6 inches each)
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (diced)
- 2 cups Lettuce (shredded)
- 1 cup Low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt (as a substitute for sour cream)
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped, optional)
- 1 Lime wedges (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon olive oil.
Step 2
Add the ground turkey to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked.
Step 3
Stir in the taco seasoning and 1 cup water. Let it simmer for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces slightly and a thick sauce forms. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Step 5
Assemble the tacos by spooning the seasoned turkey mixture evenly onto each tortilla.
Step 6
Top with diced cherry tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and a sprinkle of low-fat shredded cheese.
Step 7
Add a dollop of plain non-fat Greek yogurt on top as a substitute for sour cream.
Step 8
Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve with lime wedges for an extra zest of flavor.
