1 lb. ground turkey breast
1 packet taco seasoning (use your favorite or try Simply Organic Brand Southwest Taco Seasoning)
1/2 cup water
6 taco sized corn tortillas (try Mission Extra Thin) or low-carb whole wheat flour tortillas (try La Tortilla Factory)
3 oz. reduced-fat cheddar, jack or mozzarella cheese (3g of fat per ounce or less)
1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
1 cup chopped plum tomatoes (or any tomato in season)
3 Tbsp. taco sauce
Cooking spray

Lightly spray a medium frying pan with cooking spray and place it over medium heat. Add the turkey. Using a wooden spoon, crumble the turkey and continue to cook it until it is no longer pink.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl or measuring cup, mix the taco seasoning with the water and stir it until all lumps are removed. Stir the mixture into the turkey and reduce the heat to low. Continue to cook the mixture until it thickens. Warm the tortillas in the microwave, preferably on low heat, for about 15 seconds, or in an oven preheated to 400 degrees F for about 2-4 minutes or until warm.

Divide the cheese and sprinkle it evenly over half of each warm tortilla. Spoon the turkey mixture evenly over the cheese, then add the lettuce, tomato and taco sauce. Fold each tortilla in half to form the taco, making sure the filling remains inside. Serve immediately. Makes six tacos.
