Healthy Recipe

Last week, Biggest Loser had a cooking competition to make healthy and tasty meals in just 30 min.  One of the meals sounded delicious so I looked up the recipe online afterwards.  Tonight we (I) attempted our own version of the meal.  It actually turned out pretty well so I thought I'd share the recipe.  Biggest Losers version was 330 calories (you can find theirs on their website).  My version is under 300, depending on how much cheese you use.

Ground turkey
red pepper
cilantro
lime juice
onion
chili pepper seasoning
season salt
white pepper seasoning
tortillas

Cook the turkey in the pan with diced onion until cooked through.  Drain.  I set aside about 1/2 for a meal later in the week since there are only two of us.  You can use the whole pound though if you're cooking for a bigger group.

Add finely diced red pepper and chopped cilantro.  Add about 1/4C water and season to taste with chili pepper, white pepper, and season salt.  I used a bit more season salt to balance the taste.  Add about 1-2T of lime juice.

While the seasonings are cooking into the meat, toast a tortilla in a separate pan.  Do not use any oil or anything.  When fully toasted, cut into quarters.  Top with the cooked meat and add some shredded cheese with a very light hand.  Enjoy!
