a healthier taco


Dinner tonight was two turkey tacos!
For the taco meat, I used:
1 package of ground turkey 
1 large yellow (or white) onion, chopped
1 poblano chile pepper, chopped
2 cups of grated zuchinni
1 tbsp of crushed garlic
1 tbsp of taco seasoning.
Saute the onion and pepper until semi-tender. Add the zuchinni and continue to saute until golden and tender. Add the garlic, taco seasoning and turkey. Mash the turkey in the pan with a potato masher to break up. Let cook on medium to medium high heat stiring occasionally, until the turkey is thoroughly cooked. This should make enough for 10 to 12 tacos
For the rest of my tacos, I sauteed on our flattop one sliced red, green and poblano peppers each and a large red onion also sliced all until nice and tender.
Diced cherry tomatoes with cilantro
Torn baby spinach
Reduced fat Cheddar
Taco shells
I estimate my two tacos done this way to be around 350 - 375 calories in total for the meal. Not too shabby.
