Turkey Tacos

I pack my lunch in little to-go GLAD containers to make it easier to take to work


This is the meal made with lettuce


this is the meal made with rice



So my boss told me about how his wife made turkey tacos, so I decided that I would try it out.  However, I didn't have any taco seasoning, so I improvised.


Items:

Ground Turkey

Mexican chili powder

Paprika

Crushed red pepper flakes

Mrs. Dash southwest chipotle

Hot sauce

Chopped Onion

Butter spray


I sprayed my pan with some of my no calorie butter spray, and put the turkey in the pan.  I used the seasonings and hot sauce on the turkey while I cooked it.  Once it was done I added the onion to cook it with the meat and spices.  I was happy with the look and taste when it was done.


To serve it, I was planning on using whole wheat tortillas, but instead I decided to use brown rice.  After I cooked the rice I put it in a new pan and added the seasonings and then the meat and mixed it all together.  I didn't use all of the meat, because I wanted to save some to make a no carb meal.  For the no carb meal, I chopped up lettuce and mixed it in with the meat.  This meal should be pretty good!  Im excited about eating it!


The ground turkey has about 130 calories per serving, and the brown rice has about 150 calories per serving.
