390 Calories per 2 Tacos
I feel like I say this a lot, but this is one of my favorite of these "healthified" meals. This is actually the 2nd time that I've made it and it has the 3 perks that I really like in a recipe: Quick, Easy, and Delish (haha). The above pic is of the taco "insides" in the pan- I figured that would give yall a better idea of the meal than if I showed you what it looks like in the tortilla. Also, I actually ate it out of a bowl this time. I figured it would save me a few calories by not eating the tortillas. Either way though, tortilla or bowl, it's very filling and flavorful.
prep time:10 min |
start to finish:20 min |
makes:4 servings |
1/2 | cup Progresso® chicken broth (from 32-oz carton) |
1 | medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup) |
1 | small red or green bell pepper, diced (1/2 cup) |
1/2 | cup frozen whole kernel corn (from 1-lb bag) |
1/2 | lb ground turkey breast |
4 | cloves garlic, finely chopped |
1/2 | cup salsa |
1/4 | cup chopped fresh cilantro |
8 | flour tortillas (8 to 10 inch), warmed* |
Sour cream, if desired |
1. | In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat broth to boiling over high heat. Cook onion, bell pepper and corn in broth 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Reduce heat to medium-high. |
2. | Stir in turkey and garlic. Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in salsa. Cook about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until turkey is no longer pink. Stir in cilantro. |
3. | Spoon slightly less than 1/2 cup turkey mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up tortilla. Serve with sour cream. |
To warm tortillas, heat them in a hot ungreased skillet or griddle for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Or wrap desired number of tortillas tightly in foil and heat in 250°F oven for 15 minutes. Or place 2 tortillas at a time between dampened microwavable paper towels or sheets of microwavable plastic wrap and microwave on High for 15 to 20 seconds until warm. |

I made this tonight! Yay cooking! The only difference that I had from yours was that mine ended up being really soupy. I portioned out our dinner and let it simmer for a good while and it was just fine. Yummy!

Mine has been soupy when I make it too. I use a pasta strainer and throw everything in there when it has about 3 or 4 minutes left to cook. That way it gets all the soupy/watery stuff out and cooks for a few more minutes for flavor. I forgot all about that- I should have put that in the blog haha.
