Low Fat Turkey Chalupa Recipes

LOW-FAT TURKEY CHALUPA

Steps:

• Spray a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over high heat for 30 seconds. Add turkey, sprinkle with seasonings and saute until browned and no longer pink. Add black beans, green chilies and salsa; cover skillet and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes.
• Serve on baked baked tortilla chips with salsa, shredded non-fat cheese, chopped tomatoes, shredded lettuce and taco sauce.

SLOW COOKER PORK CHALUPAS

Steps:

• Spray slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray. Place roast inside slow cooker.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the beans, onion, garlic, green chilis, chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt. Pour over the roast, then add enough water to the slow cooker so that the roast is almost completely covered.
• Cook on low heat for 8-9 hours, checking about half way through to make sure there is still water and add more water if needed.
• When roast is done cooking, remove bone and fat and shred using two forks. Return pork to the slow cooker in the leftover liquid and serve on tortillas with your favorite toppings.

CHEESY BEAN CHALUPA

Steps:

• When you are ready to assemble the chalupas, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place the tortillas in a single layer. Bake tortillas for 20 minutes until crispy and golden brown. (Do not turn over.)
• While the tortillas are baking, place the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder and Dijon mustard in a bowl and whisk until blended.
• Add the lettuce, radishes, cilantro leaves, basil and scallions to the above ingredients. Toss to combine.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss again.
• Keeping the just-baked tortillas on the cookie sheet, spread 1/4 cup of the White Bean Dip on each tortilla and sprinkle with 2 Tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese.
• Heat in oven at 350 degrees F until cheese is melted-about 5 minutes.
• Top each tortilla with salad mix, avocado salsa, sour cream and remaining cheese. If you have extra tortillas, cut them into quarters and bake them to use as garnish.
