Warchild, nice recipe. I am going to add one of my favorites in here in case someone wants another yummy option.
Healthy Delicious Tacos
My favorite meal is healthy tacos w/ home made hard taco shells (I make enough at a time for several meals) Do not eat store bought trans-fatty taco shells!
One package of extra-lean ground turkey (or 93% fat free or better ground beef). Brown meat on medium stove heat for a few minutes, then drain and rinse off fat in colander. Add back meat, turn heat on low, add 2/3rds cup of water and one packet (low sodium) taco seasoning, mix and chop up meat a bit. Cook in the fry pan for less than ten minutes chopping up mixture in fry pan with spatula a bit and turning mixing several times. Makes enough for approx 10 tacos.
Now you make your own crispy shells from store bought flat whole wheat or ezekiel tortillas. Buy some whole wheat torillas in the refrig. section of the supermarket or better yet some Food For Life brand Ezekial Sprouted Grain Tortillas in the frozen section (they come out crispier), coat each one with a few olive oil sprays & a shake little salt on each. Now bake for 15 minutes at 325 degrees draped over a metal taco shell rack or over draped over two slats of the oven shelf and hanging down to make the shape and crispiness of taco shells. Store the extras in tupperware in the refrigerator.
I top the tacos with some store bought lettuce shreds & some chopped bits of a small tomato. You can add salsa to the meat when you re-heat it and also slightly microwave-melted fat free cheese shreds from the store on top if you wish.
Also- use that pre-cooked taco seasoned meat to eat in other combos during other meals, for example:
- Stuffed in a whole wheat pita, kinda like a dry Sloppy Joe sandwich.
- Stuffed in half a red/orange/green/yellow bell pepper that you heat in the microwave for 90 seconds
- Mixed up with some red kidney beans and brown rice, kinda like a dry chili.
