PANS/EQUIPMENT: 10 inch skillet
PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 10 minutes
NUMBER OF SERVINGS: 4 or more depending on ages

Cooking spray or olive oil
Spray skillet with cooking spray or olive oil.

1 pound ground turkey breast (raised without antibiotics is best!)
Brown ground turkey over medium heat until cooked and no longer pink.

1 Tablespoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper*
dash red pepper flakes*
1/2 cup water
Add spices (or use a taco seasoning mix **) and water to the ground turkey. Reduce heat and cook for 4-6 minutes or until sauce is heated and thickened properly. Feel free to adjust spices to your family’s taste.

Organic Tortillas (whole grain – try spelt!)
Cut tortillas in half and add turkey.

Cabot 50% Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1 tomato, diced
Top turkey with cheese and tomatoes. Roll up tortillas and serve. Liz says, “Add kid cupcake toppers to hold taco roll ups together and to make them more appealing to little ones.”

OPTIONS: The kid cupcake toppers are a great idea – especially those with pictures of favorite characters! To save time, try salsa in place of diced tomatoes. Add some shredded lettuce or cilantro before rolling up for green color!

*Omit or use more red pepper flakes depending on if your family likes spicy foods. The Family Food Experts recommend replacing ground black pepper with a dash of cayenne for better digestibility.

** It’s a great money-saving idea to make your own taco seasoning. If you choose to buy a taco seasoning packet, watch out for high sodium, MSG, or artificial ingredients. Bearitos Taco Seasoning is a healthier option and is KKA.

RECIPE SOURCE: “Combination of many different things I’ve done in the past.” (Liz, mother of 2)
