Ingredients
- 4-6 romaine lettuce large leaves for taco shell
- 1 ground turkey lean
- 3 green onions chopped,
- 1/8 cup flat leaf parsley chopped
- 1 green bell pepper chopped
- 1-2 lime for garnish
- 2 corn peeled and washed, ears
- 1/2 cup Pico de Gallo
- cheddar cheese for garnish, shredded
- 1/4 tsp. onion powder
- 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes chili
- 1/4 tsp. oregano dried
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1 1/2 tsp. cumin ground
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil for the corn. Wash large lettuce leaves, and set aside on paper tower to dry.
- In a medium satue pan, cook ground turkey. Once it is about half way cooked, add in your seasoning - onion power, red pepper flakes, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. I made up my own taco seasoning, but to make it easier you can buy the packets of pre made seasonings. However, I recommend controlling your sodium intake and have fun creating your own!
- While the meat is finishing cooking, your water should be coming close to a boil. Boil your washed corn for 5 minutes, then remove from water. Once cooled down, cut the corn off like you would do if you had braces.
- Now, you are ready to assemble your tacos however you would like. I put my seasoned ground turkey first, corn and bell pepper next, Pico de Gallo, parsley and green onion and cheese on top and garnished with the lime. Enjoy just like a taco, or if you prefer cut up and eat like a taco salad. Enjoy!
Notes
- I had left over red bell pepper and tossed them in my tacos as well.Also, if you happen to have any avocados on hand, make a little guacamole to top off your tacos for a boost of monounsaturated fat!
