Celebrate the end of the week with this southwestern-style bake that is an all-in-one entree and salad. A crisp lettuce, such as romaine, iceberg or green leaf, works best. If cilantro isn't a family favourite, substitute parsley. Serve with sour cream.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) olive oil
- 1 lb (450 g) ground turkey or chicken
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) prepared salsa
- 1 cup (250 mL) corn kernels
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) chili powder
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups (500 mL) shredded Canadian Cheddar cheese
- 2 cups (500 mL) shredded romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) chopped tomato
Preparation
In large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tsp of the oil over medium-high heat; brown turkey, breaking up with wooden spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain in colander and set aside.
Add remaining oil, onion and garlic to skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add salsa, corn, cilantro and chilli powder. Return turkey to pan and stir to combine.
