Yep, this is pretty much life in the Wisconsin Test Kitchen. Tacos are our diet kryptonite. But last week we found a low-calorie, tasty and quick taco recipe the whole family loved. Low calorie, tasty and quick... that's like the trifecta of dinner awesome, right there!
Juicy Turkey Tacos
Recipe courtesy of: Chili Pepper Madness
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
12 ounces ground turkey
2 tablespoons taco seasoning
½ cup water
6 corn tortillas, lightly toasted
Fixings for toppings – we used fresh tomato, avocado, cheese and salsa
Heat a large pan to medium heat. Add olive oil and swirl.
Add onion, jalapeno pepper and ground turkey. Cook it all together about 8 minutes, or until the turkey is nearly cooked through.
Add taco seasoning and water. Stir. Reduce heat and allow to simmer about 10 minutes, until most of the moisture reduces and the flavorings thicken up. Leave just a bit of the liquid in the pan to keep the turkey nice and juicy and moist.
Serve onto toasted tortillas and top with your favorite fixings!
Notes from the Test Kitchen
-The recipe calls for a jalapeno; but the taco meat didn't turn out too spicy; SB took down two tacos without complaint.
-The extra step of letting the taco meat simmer with the water and taco seasoning really helped make the meat juicy and flavorful. These were some of the best tacos we've made!
