Wicked Fast Healthy Turkey Tacos:

Taco Tuesday is a crowd favorite at our house.  Over the years we’ve made some changes to make this easy meal a bit healthier.  Here is the spice mix that we throw together ourselves so that we have more control over what goes in our food.  We couple this spice mix with the leanest ground turkey available to make tacos, burritos, or taco bowls.

• 4 Tablespoons ground cumin
• 2 table spoons chili powder
• 2 1/2 teaspoons celery salt

Mix spices together and place in an air tight container so you can save any spice mix that you don’t use.  Place turkey meat in skillet and cook over medium heat, when meat is cooked through spoon in spice mix to taste plus 2/3 cup water, stir well and simmer.

If the meat is too dry, it’s OK to add some extra virgin olive oil.  Yes, you paid extra for the lean meat, but the olive oil is a healthy fat.  I’d rather you have the olive oil than the extra turkey fat.

• To save on time, you can buy pre shredded cheese.  I personally do not buy reduced fat cheese for this.  I prefer to buy extra sharp and use less.
• Use non fat Greek yogurt instead of sour cream
• You can use as much pico del gallo as you wish (fresh salsa)
• Pile on the shredded lettuce 
• Black beans have tons of nutrients.  Go ahead and use canned rinse them well!
• Don’t forget the diced onion!
