Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey (93% lean)
- 1 packet Low-sodium taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 6 bags Single-serve bags of baked tortilla chips
- 2 cups Romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 cup Tomatoes, diced
- 0.75 cup Reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Plain non-fat Greek yogurt (as a sour cream substitute)
- 0.5 cup Salsa (optional)
- 0.25 cup Sliced black olives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the ground turkey.
Step 2
Cook the turkey, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and no pink remains, about 7-8 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the low-sodium taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is absorbed.
Step 4
Remove the skillet from heat and set the seasoned meat aside.
Step 5
Gently crush the baked tortilla chips in each of the single-serve bags by squeezing them lightly with your hands; open the bags carefully along the top.
Step 6
To each bag, add a layer of chopped romaine lettuce, followed by the seasoned turkey mixture, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of reduced-fat cheddar cheese.
Step 7
Top with a dollop of plain non-fat Greek yogurt and a spoonful of salsa if desired. For additional flavor, add a few sliced black olives.
Step 8
Serve directly in the chip bags with a fork for a fun, portable meal experience.
