INGREDIENTS

  • 8 ounces lean ground turkey breast
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 ⅓ cups mild salsa
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 6 oz plain nonfat yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
  • ½ tsp lime zest
  • 12 hard corn taco shells
  • ½ cup low fat cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Iceberg lettuce, shredded
  • Cherry tomatoes, chopped
  • Avocado, chopped (optional)
  • Green onions, chopped (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, cook turkey, breaking up into small pieces. After 2 minutes, add the onion and garlic. Cook until the turkey is no longer pink and the onions are softening, about 8 minutes.
  2. Add the beans, salsa, and ¼ teaspoon salt and simmer for 2 minutes. Set aside.
  3. In a small temp-tations® bowl, combine the yogurt, lime juice, zest, and remaining salt. Keep in refrigerator until ready to serve.
  4. Arrange taco shells in a 4-quart temp-tations® baker (13x9 size). Bake shells for 5 minutes at 400°F and remove from oven. Carefully fill each shell with a heaping ¼ cup of filling. 
  5. Sprinkle tacos with cheese and bake for 10 minutes at 400°F
  6. Remove from oven and top tacos with lettuce, tomatoes and drizzle with the reserved yogurt sauce. Top with chopped avocado and green onions if desired.
