Turkey Taco Pockets


Turkey Taco Pockets
This is a really easy meal that makes 10-12 taco pockets and feeds a group of 6. You can serve the tacos with salsa, sour cream, hummus or guacamole.

Here is what you’ll need:
1 lb ground turkey meat
1 packet of taco seasoning
12 tortillas

6 oz canned mushrooms
1 red bell pepper, diced
3 Roma tomatoes, diced

½ onion, chopped
Cheddar cheese, shredded
Extra virgin olive oil
Toothpicks

In a pan sauté onions until soft. Add ground turkey, mushrooms, tomatoes and bell pepper. Cook until the meat is browned. Add the taco seasoning and mix well. Reduce heat and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Set meat aside.
Heat 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a nonstick pan. Take a tortilla and place two tablespoons of meat in the center. Sprinkle with cheese. Fold one side over, then fold two sides on top, and then fold the last side of the tortilla on top. Secure with a toothpick. Fry in the nonstick pan until tortilla is browned and crisp on both sides. Repeat until meat is gone. Serve hot.
