- Tacos:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1 medium-size onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 pounds ground white-meat turkey, or 1 1/2 pounds lean ground round
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup mild salsa
- 1/4 cup water
- 10 8-inch flour or corn tortillas
- Fillings:
- 1 cup low-fat sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1 avocado, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 cup chopped ripe tomatoes
- Mild salsa
Method
- In a large skillet, heat oil over moderate heat until warm. Add the onion, half the oregano, and the cumin; saute for 5 minutes.
- Add the ground meat and cook 5 minutes, stirring well to incorporate all the ingredients. Stir in the tomato paste, salt, pepper, salsa, water, and remaining oregano; cook another 6 minutes. (The meat mixture can be cooked several hours ahead of time and refrigerated. Before serving, reheat in a skillet over low heat. If the meat seems dry, add 2 tablespoons of water while reheating.)
- To serve: Wrap tortillas in tin foil and warm them in a 200° oven for about 4 minutes. Divide the meat mixture among the 10 tortillas. Place the desired accompaniments in small bowls and let each child fill and fold to create his own custom taco.
- How kids can help: Pick fillings and set them out in bowls.
