Ingredients

• 1 pound Lean ground turkey
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium taco seasoning
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Low fat cheddar cheese
• 2 cups Shredded lettuce
• 1 cup Diced tomatoes
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (as a substitute for sour cream)
• 10 pieces Corn taco shells
• 1 bag Nacho cheese tortilla chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spread the corn taco shells on a baking sheet. Warm them in the oven for 5 minutes.

Step 2

In the meantime, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground turkey and cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 3

Drain any excess fat and return the skillet to the heat. Stir in the low-sodium taco seasoning and water. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Step 4

While the meat is cooking, crush the nacho cheese tortilla chips into fine crumbs. Set aside for later use.

Step 5

Once the taco shells are warmed, remove them from the oven. Spread a thin layer of crushed tortilla chips inside each shell, acting as a flavorful 'lining' to resemble the Doritos Locos style.

Step 6

Spoon the cooked turkey mixture evenly into each taco shell.

Step 7

Top each taco with a sprinkle of low fat cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of Greek yogurt for a tangy and creamy topping.

Step 8

Serve immediately, or wrap them individually in foil to keep warm.
