Ingredients

• 12 corn tortillas
• 1 pound lean ground turkey
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium taco seasoning
• 0.5 cup water
• 0 olive oil spray
• 2 cups shredded lettuce
• 1 cup diced tomatoes
• 1 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup salsa
• 0.25 cup chopped cilantro
• 1 lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Lightly spray each side of the corn tortillas with olive oil spray. Drape the tortillas over the oven racks to form a taco shape and bake for 8-10 minutes until crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Step 3

While tortillas are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with olive oil spray.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Add the lean ground turkey to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until the turkey is browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the low-sodium taco seasoning and water. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.

Step 7

Once the tortillas are crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 8

Fill each crispy tortilla with the ground turkey mixture, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and cilantro.

Step 9

Serve immediately with salsa and lime wedges on the side for extra flavor.

Step 10

Enjoy your delicious low-fat crispy tacos!
