ingredients
- 8 small tortillas (flat)
- 1⁄2 lb ground turkey breast
- 1⁄2 bell pepper
- 1⁄2 red onion
- 2 mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 (3 ounce) packet taco seasoning
- 1 tomatoes, diced
- 1⁄2 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1⁄2 cup cheese, shredded
Sauce
- 1⁄2 cup sour cream
- 1⁄4 cup salsa (chunky)
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- take each tortilla shell and spray with cooking spray.
- bend the tortillas around the edges of a large, oven-proof plate to create a taco-like shape.
- Place in the oven for 10 minutes or until the tortillas have become rigid, then let them rest at room temperature, still around the plate.
- Saute the ground turkey in a frying pan with 1/2 the packet of taco seasoning and Worcestershire sauce.
- Dice the pepper, red onion, and mushroom, and mix with the turkey in the pan.
- Cook until turkey is completely cooked and peppers are not brittle.
- Set the mixture aside.
- prepare a baking dish (rectangular) by covering it with tin foil and greasing it (I like to use 1 calorie spray).
- Remove the shells from the plate and spoon the turkey mixture into the shells (it should only go up about 1/3 of the way of the taco).
- Sprinkle cheese on top of the turkey mixture.
- Place each stuffed taco into the baking dish. They should stand up on their own, supported by the others.
- Bake for 7 minutes or until cheese has partially melted.
- Take out of oven and add lettuce and tomato on top of the cheese.
- Top with special sauce (recipe below).
Sauce:
- Mix sour cream and salsa together in a small bowl.
- Add the taco seasoning to taste.
- Serve on top of the the tacos.

- Had to make a few changes to satisfy hubby's taste buds. Used some fresh cilantro and some fresh salsa to give it a fresh taste and to cut down on the salt in the seasoning packet.
