Ingredients
- 12 ounces Ground turkey
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium taco seasoning
- 0.5 cup Water
- 4 Low-fat flour tortillas
- 1 cup Reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 Crispy corn taco shells
- 0.5 cup Low-fat sour cream
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 0 Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray.
Step 2
Add ground turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the low-sodium taco seasoning and 0.5 cup water. Let it simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Step 4
While the turkey mixture is cooking, warm the low-fat flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat, about 20 seconds per side until pliable.
Step 5
Take a flour tortilla and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of reduced-fat cheddar cheese on one side. Place it in the skillet, cheese side up, and let it melt slightly.
Step 6
Place a crispy corn taco shell in the center of the tortilla and gently fold the tortilla up around it, pressing the cheese side to adhere. If necessary, add a little more heat to promote melting.
Step 7
Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and taco shells.
Step 8
Spread a tablespoon of low-fat sour cream in the bottom of each taco shell.
Step 9
Fill each taco shell with a portion of the ground turkey mixture, followed by shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.
Step 10
Top with a sprinkle of remaining reduced-fat cheddar and some low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Fat Cheesy Gordita Crunch!
