Ingredients :-

1.     1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2.     1 lb ground turkey
3.     1 taco seasoning packet
4.     4 plum tomatoes, diced (no seeds)
5.     1 jalepeno, diced (remove white ribs and seeds)
6.     1/2 white onion, diced
7.     1/4 cup chopped cilantro
8.     Juice from 1 lime
9.     Salt & pepper
10.     8 flour tortillas, taco size
11.     Reduced Fat Mexican Cheese Blend, shredded
12.     Hot sauce, optional

Directions:

•     In a warm skillet, add oil and ground turkey. Cook until browned, 8-10  minutes. Drain excess liquid. Add taco seasoning to the meat mixture. (I followed the directions on the packet by adding 2/3 cup of water along with the taco seasoning.) Cook with meat for 5 minutes.
•     Make pico de gallo – combine tomatoes, jalepeno, onion, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt & pepper.
•     When the taco meat is cooked, take 1/4 cup of meat and add it to the middle of a flour tortilla. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Cook in the microwave for 30 seconds, or until the cheese has melted. Top with pico de gallo.  Add hot sauce, if needed.
