ingredients

1/2 pound lean ground turkey
1/2 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup salsa or picante sauce
1/4 cup canned reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
4 (6-inch diameter size) flour tortillas
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Cheddar or Co-Jack blend cheese
1/2 cup shredded lettuce
1/4 cup chopped tomato
1 chopped fresh jalapeno pepper (optional)

directions

Saute the turkey, onion and garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain and return to the skillet.

Add the salsa, broth, chili powder and cumin. Simmer uncovered until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

While the turkey mixture simmers, broil the tortillas about 4 to 5 inches from the heat source until crisp and golden brown, turning occasionally.

Stir the cilantro into the turkey mixture. Top each tortilla with 1/4 cup turkey mixture, 1 tablespoon cheese, 2 tablespoons lettuce, and 1 tablespoon chopped tomato. Sprinkle with jalapeno pepper, if desired.
