Mexican Madness!

Posted by: Tracy  :  in topic: At the Training Table

Does your team love Mexican?  Try this new, healthier twist on tacos but whatever you do….don’t TELL anyone they’re healthy.  In fact, why don’t we go ahead and call them Tasty Turkey & Frijoles Tacos?  There, now no one will mistakenly forsake these little beauties before they have a chance to love ‘em!!  De nada!

 

 

1 lb. ground turkey breast

 

1 15 oz can Southwestern style Black Beans

 

1 pkg reduced sodium taco seasoning

 

Reduced fat shredded cheese- cheddar or Mexican blend

 

Fat free tortillas (look for ones under 100 calories per tortilla- they’re out there, but some tortillas can have over 180 calories PER tortilla, that’s just crazy kids!)

 

Salsa

 

Reduced Fat or Non Fat Sour cream

 

 

Brown Turkey breast.  Add taco seasoning according to package directions.  Drain excess liquid from black beans and add to seasoned turkey.  (hint: if some of your team won’t do the black beans, set aside half the turkey mixture before you add beans- then you can offer them a choice!)

 

Warm tortillas.

 

Spoon meat & bean mixture into tortillas and top with cheese, salsa & sour cream.  Lettuce, diced tomatoes and fresh spinach make great toppings, too!  Get creative!  Muy bueno!
