Oh me, oh my! For the girl who gives herself a lifetime pass on tortillas as her 1 non-paleo item, these are a FANTASTIC substitute! They were sooooo good! Seriously, I am shocked at how well I like these!
From start to finish they took less than 15 minutes and were delicious!
You can definitely jazz them up with guacamole, chipotle yogurt sauce or even corn & black bean salsa....but they were awesome just like this!
What you need...
1 20 oz. package of lean ground turkey
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp ancho chili powder
dash of salt (I really don't add salt to anything, add more if you like)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 pint mushrooms, sliced
1 head of Bib Lettuce, washed and dried
shredded cheese
your favorite salsa
guacamole and anything other toppings you like on tacos!
Add ground turkey to a medium sauté pan, top with spices and olive oil. Place sauté pan on burner set to high and brown the meat, stir well and break meat apart as it cooks. Cook on high for about 7 minutes or until browned all the way through. Using a slotted spoon, remove meat to drain on a plate lined with a paper towel. There isn't much fat so try to leave any that's there in the pan for the veggies! Immediately add the peppers and onions to the pan and continue to cook, cook about 1 minute while stirring. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. You want to toss them and let them cook, but be careful not to overcook - you don't want them to lose their crunch! Remove to a plate and get ready to assemble!
Lay out the lettuce leaves. I used 2 per taco! Add a about 1/3 cup of turkey, top with cheese, then sautéed veggies. Top with your favorite salsa and even some chipotle greek yogurt sauce if you like! Roll them up like a soft taco and ENJOY!
