Ingredients

• 250 grams Ground turkey (93% lean)
• 0.5 cup Minced onion
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon Taco seasoning (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 12 pieces Small corn tortillas
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray
• 1 cup Shredded lettuce
• 0.5 cup Diced tomato
• 0.5 cup Shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Fat-free Greek yogurt (optional, for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Add minced onion and garlic to the skillet, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the ground turkey, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 4

Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked turkey and add 2 tablespoons of water. Mix well to evenly coat the meat, and let it simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Using a round cookie cutter (about 3-4 inches in diameter), cut out smaller circles from the corn tortillas. Each tortilla should yield at least 2 mini rounds.

Step 7

Lightly spray the mini tortilla rounds on both sides with nonstick cooking spray, and gently press each one into the cups of a mini muffin tin to form a taco shell shape.

Step 8

Bake the mini taco shells in the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the taco shells from the oven and let them cool slightly before filling.

Step 10

Fill each shell with a spoonful of the cooked turkey mixture, followed by shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 11

Top with a dollop of fat-free Greek yogurt, if desired, and garnish with fresh cilantro for added flavor and presentation.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your Tiny Tacos Low Fat!
