I always have this when my boyfriend makes taco's for himself because I try to hold back on the carbs. I always change it around a tad, but for the most part I make it like this.

Time 20m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 ounces lean ground turkey
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix (Old El Paso)
3 cups romaine lettuce (or desired amount)
1 small tomatoes, diced
2 tablespoons salsa (mild, medium, or hot)
1 tablespoon honey mustard (I use French's)
2 tablespoons fat free balsamic vinaigrette (I use naturally fresh)
1/4 cup fat-free cheddar cheese (or desired amount)
cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the Ground turkey in a stir-fry pan with the taco seasoning mix (make sure to figure out how much seasoning to use depending on how much meat you are actually cooking).
  • Gently mix up the lettuce, tomato, salsa, honey mustard, dressing, and cheese together. You can add cayenne pepper into the mix, the more you put the hotter it will get -- pretty self explanatory haha.
  • Enjoy :).
