Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground chicken or turkey
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 8 pieces Corn tortillas (or low sodium taco shells)
- 0 Olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese, low sodium, shredded
- 1 cup Lettuce, shredded
- 1 cup Tomatoes, diced
- 0.5 cup Low sodium salsa or avocado slices (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Lightly spray corn tortillas with olive oil spray on both sides. Place them directly on the oven rack to bake for about 8 minutes, or until crisp, forming a taco shell shape. If using pre-made low sodium taco shells, skip this step.
Step 3
In a large skillet, brown the ground chicken or turkey over medium heat until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes, breaking apart with a spoon.
Step 4
Add the low sodium taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the meat. Reduce heat and let it simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground cumin.
Step 6
Lightly dust each baked tortilla shell with the prepared spice mix while they are still warm to replicate classic Doritos flavor.
Step 7
To assemble the tacos, start by placing a layer of low sodium shredded cheddar cheese at the bottom of each shell.
Step 8
Add an equal portion of the seasoned chicken or turkey mixture over the cheese, followed by shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes.
Step 9
Top with additional low sodium salsa or avocado slices if desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Sodium Doritos Locos Tacos!
