Low Carb Tacos

Mexican cuisine is largely avoided on a contest preparation's dieting. However, instead of depriving ourselves of this delicious food we decided to play around with the ingredients and make a contest prep friendly version. Here is what we came up with:

What you need:

• 200g of ground turkey
• ½ packet of taco seasoning
• 2 c green bell pepper, cubed
• 3 tbsp. salsa
• 2 large romaine lettuce leaves
• 2 cup tomato, diced
• 2oz Allegro cheese, shredded
• 1 c fat free sour cream

What you do:

1. Brown the turkey in a skillet sprayed with Pam.
2. Add taco seasoning.
3. Stir in peppers and salsa.
4. Cook until the vegetables are tender.
5. Scoop the meat and vegetables and stuff the lettuce leaves.
6. Put 1-2 tbsp. of sour cream.
7. Sprinkle with cheese and enjoy!
