Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon of olive oil
- Salt (to taste)
- 99% fat free Turkey meat
- ½ Red bell pepper
- 2 sticks of scallion
- 2-4 garlic cloves
- 2 ½ teaspoons Low sodium Old Del Paso Taco seasoning
- Mission Zero Net carb tortillas
- Mexican blend shredded cheese (low fat cheese if optional)
- 2-4 teaspoon mild chunky salsa
- Cholula hot sauce (optional)
Directions:
- Finely chop scallions and red bell pepper. Mince garlic cloves. Set aside.
- Heat olive oil in medium skillet. Break up and cook turkey meat until meat is white. Add 2 ½ TSP of taco seasoning, scallions, red bell pepper and garlic. Mix well. Cover skillet and lower heat. Note* You can add salt to turkey meat but carefully! Since taco seasoning has added salt and lots of flavor.
- Place tortillas in separate skillet to heat up/toast them. Do not over-heat them since they become hard to bend and will break. Flip tortillas and add a pinch of Mexican blend cheese.; allow to melt. Note* While heating up tortillas, keep an eye on turkey meat. Mix every 5 minutes and cover again. Do this for about 15 minutes then remove from heat.
- Remove tortillas from skillet and bend them in “taco form” Note* You can put the tortillas in a small bowl side to side to keep them in place and in form.
- Add turkey meat to tortilla. Add 1 TSP of mild chunky salsa (or spicy)
** Add Cholula hot sauce if you like spicy tacos!
