Turkey Tacos

Ingredients:

  • I used El Paso Standing Shells.  They are made with wheat, and don’t have any preservatives.  I put 6 in the oven for 4 minutes at 325 degrees.
  • I used ground turkey meat instead of ground beef, turkey meat is a lot leaner.  I also used a little bit of taco seasoning, just stir in after the meat is cooked.
  • I used no fat shredded cheese from Kraft, and a little bit of Athenos Feta.

I normally put spinach in it, but I’m out, so I’ll have to get some tomorrow.

Altogether, for 2 tacos, this is what’s in it:

  • 306 Calories
  • 21 Carbs
  • 12 Fat
  • 1 Sugar

So, it’s not too bad.  Especially not compared to regular tacos from, say, Taco Casa, which are 530 calories, 34 grams of fat, and 26 carbs.
