Baked Turkey Tacos
This recipe is a crowd pleaser. If you're looking for a protein packed, macro friendly, easy, family friendly meal, this covers all of your bases. Not to mention, it's absolutely delicious! This comes together in less than 30 minutes, and you're sure to have leftovers for lunch the next day!
Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 8 flour tortillas (street taco size)
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 lb 99% lean ground turkey
- 1 jar (15 oz) salsa of your choice
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup fat free refried beans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- In a medium skillet, brown ground turkey with the taco seasoning. When fully cooked, add jar of salsa and simmer for 2 minutes.
- While turkey is cooking, line a cookie sheet with tortillas. Evenly spread refried beans on one half of each tortilla.
- When turkey is done, evenly distribute mixture on top of the beans, on each tortilla. Then add cheese.
- Fold each tortilla onto the cheese side, so that the hot turkey mixture melts the cheese and helps it stick to the tortilla. Tip – if the tortillas aren't staying together, place another cookie sheet on top of them to help weigh them down in the first few minutes of baking. You can remove after a few minutes and let them continue to cook!
- Cook for a total of 10-15 mins, or until golden and crispy!
- Topping is a mixture of fat free sour cream, a little chipotle in adobo sauce, and honey!

Chocolate Covered Perfect Bars
If you’ve been following for any length of time, you know my obsession with the chocolate covered Perfect Bars. If you haven’t tried them, you can get them from the refrigerated section at Target. They’re freaking fabulous. However, they’re expensive, and based on my other …

Buffalo Chicken Casserole
Yall, this recipe. I have made it SO many times and I have yet to get sick of it. It was also the most popular recipe of the recipes I created for the Tighter Together challenge this summer. It had the most rave reviews!
It’s loaded with veggies, packed with protein, and it’s freaking delicious. If you like buffalo chicken dip, you will be obsessed. It’s just in time for football season, too!
Recipe Notes
If you’re worried about this being too spicy for kids/people who don’t love spicy, don’t be! 1/3 cup of buffalo sauce is just enough to give it flavor without making it spicy/hot. I promise.
But if you do love spice, go ahead and add another 1/3 cup to kick it up a notch.
Also, some people said they only did 2 bags of cauliflower rice as opposed to 3, which is totally fine! I Just like to pack it with as much volume/veggies as possible, but if you want to play it safe with just 2, it’ll still turn out just fine!
Like I mentioned, this is just like buffalo chicken dip, so if you want to serve it at a party with chips just like you would a dip, you definitely can! It’s a much healthier take on the real deal. I would suggest just doing 1 bag of cauliflower rice in that case!
If you’re wanting to lower the fat content for whatever reason, just make sure to use a lower/reduced fat cheddar cheese!
What You’ll Need
- chicken breast (I use canned, use whatever you like!)
- riced cauliflower
- buffalo sauce
- ranch seasoning
- cheddar cheese
- cream cheese
