Let’s give ‘em something to TACO ‘bout !




Quit daydreaming of your elementary school’s cafeteria weekly menu because this food trend is most certainly a thing. & honestly I’m all about it. Yes, you better believe tacos deserve their own day but heck no you don’t need to feel guilty inhaling them.


Whether you decide to eat tacos every Tues, or just as often as you can (obvs the answer is a no brainer), we can probably both agree: There's nothing in the world like a good taco. And lucky you I’m going to give you the tools to build the best, most delish, healthy taco without the carbs and sodium!!


Keep calm and taco on!


Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1lb 95% lean ground turkey
  • 2 cloves of garlic (minced)
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 tablespoons Mrs. Dash® Fiesta Lime Seasoning Blend (salt-free)
  • 1 can corn kernels, drained
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • ¼ cup of water
  • Avocado
  • 1 Fresh lime
  • 0% Fat Free Greek yogurt
  • Iceberg, butter lettuce or romaine lettuce leaves, doubled up for serving

Steps:

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add minced garlic and onions until caramelized. Then add in the ground turkey and cook until browned. Be sure to crumble the turkey as it cooks.

Stir in the cup of salsa, black beans, the 2 tablespoons Mrs. Dash® Fiesta Lime Seasoning Blend and water until well combined. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes until the water has evaporated. Once everything is cooked together take the mixture off the stove to create the lettuce wraps.

To serve, spoon several tablespoons of the turkey mixture into the center of doubled up lettuce leaves. Add a tablespoon of corn, a heaping tablespoon of salsa, a dollop of 0% Fat Free Greek yogurt (which replaces the sour scream), a few thin slices of avocado and top it off with a fresh squeeze of limejuice.
