Slimmed Down Tacos

Turkey Mixture Ingredients:

• 1 lb of lean ground turkey
• 1 red onion chopped
• 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp of chili powder
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper

Guacamole:

• 2 avocados
• 3 tbsp of fresh salsa (I use Jacks Fresh Salsa)
• 1/2 cup of cilantro
• Juice of 1 lime

Directions

In a large pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and fresh herbs, cook for about 2 minutes. Add the meat and cook until the meat is no longer pink. Add the dried herbs, salt and pepper. Cook the mixture for about 5-10 minutes.

Meantime prepare the guacamole. I used to spend so much time making guacamole and chopping the onions, tomatoes, garlic. No longer! I found the best short cut. I use Jacks Fresh Salsa! It’s so fresh and has everything that goes into guacamole. If you can’t find Jacks Fresh Salsa (I think it’s a Michigan product) then find a very fresh salsa. It won’t work with salsa from the jar. Simply add three heaping tablespoons of the salsa to two avocados and mix together. I like to add extra cilantro. And fresh lime juice.

To serve, scoop a good amount of the meat mixture over the romaine lettuce leave, top with guacamole and what ever other fixings you like.
