Ingredients
1 pound ground turkey (minced turkey)
1 pack taco seasoning
½ medium sweet onion - chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil - extra virgin, for sautéing
1 ounce spinach - pureed, optional
1 can black beans - low sodium
1 medium red pepper (red capsicum) - chopped
2 cups Romaine lettuce - chopped
1 medium avocado - chopped
1 medium tomato - chopped
¼ cup cheddar cheese - shredded. Optional: cheddar or Mexican mix
4 rounds tortillas - Whole Wheat
1 small jar sour cream - for topping, optional
1 small jar salsa - for topping, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Place whole wheat tortillas in a loaf pan shaped like a shell. Bake at least for 15 minutes until desired crispiness.
- Sauté onion in olive oil until translucent. Add ground turkey, taco seasoning, and pureed spinach. Cook until all pink is gone (about 10-15 minutes).
- Add black beans and red pepper, mix and simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, add salad toppings (lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese, etc.), then add taco meat. It should be about a 50/50 ratio to salad toppings and meat (or less). Save extra meat for leftovers.
