Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground turkey (99% lean, no added sodium)
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium taco seasoning
- 0.25 cup Water
- 4 bags Individual bags of low sodium tortilla chips
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 1 cup Diced tomatoes
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese (low sodium or reduced fat)
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt (unsalted, used as sour cream alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 0.25 cup Salsa (no salt added, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground turkey. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until fully cooked and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.
Step 2
Sprinkle the low sodium taco seasoning over the cooked turkey and add the water. Stir thoroughly to coat the meat evenly with the seasoning. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 3
Carefully open the tops of the individual tortilla chip bags by cutting along the top of each bag with scissors. Gently crush the chips inside to create smaller, bite-sized pieces.
Step 4
Divide the cooked taco meat evenly among the four bags, layering it on top of the crushed chips.
Step 5
Top the meat in each bag with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of plain Greek yogurt. Add salsa and chopped cilantro, if desired.
Step 6
Hand each walking taco to your guests with a fork to enjoy straight from the bag!
