Submitted by Chef #946097

"This is a quick, easy & low calorie meal. I love tacos so this is a great alternative.. You can add whatever veggies you want the possibilities are endless! Remember all ingredients are optional. I've added black beans & corn before & that was good as well."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 16
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 lb ground turkey (I usually get the leanest)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• any brand taco seasoning (I usually use 2 packets for extra flavor my favorite is Old El Paso)
• 1 head iceberg lettuce
• 2 avocados
• 1⁄2 onion
• 3 stalks celery
• 1 cucumber
• matchstick carrot
• tomatoes
• Mexican blend cheese
• Doritos, 100 calorie pack smashed in bag
• Tabasco sauce (optional as dressing)

directions

1. In a saucepan heat olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add Turkey with seasonings (salt, pepper & cumin) & cook until white (no pink is showing).
3. Draining the meat is not necessary (but optional) since turkey has little fat & the olive oil will be absorbed.
4. Add the taco seasoning with water & cook until sauce is thickened.
5. Assemble the salad & put the turkey meat on top of the veggies.
6. Then add the cheese.
7. Now add half to a full bag of the Doritos.
