Recipe Introduction


Fiery flavors cooled with iceberg lettuce.





List of Ingredients



• 4 Mission® 8 inch Medium Flour Tortilla
  
• Non-Stick Cooking Spray to coat
  
• 1 pound Ground Turkey
  
• 1 pack Spicy Taco Seasoning
  
• 1/4 cup Sour Cream
  
• 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
  
• 1/2 each Fresh Lime juiced
  
• Salt to taste
  
• Black Pepper to taste
  
• 1/4 teaspoon Chili Powder
  
• 4 cups Iceberg Lettuce, shredded
  
• 1/4 cup Chopped Red Tomato
  






Instructions



1. Pre-heat an oven to 375º oven. Remove the bottom and top from a 29 oz. aluminum can and any paper label. Wash and wipe dry.
   
2. Lightly spray one side of a Mission® Medium Size Flour Tortilla and place the sprayed side up on the clean aluminum can and place in the pre-heated oven and bake for 6-7 minutes or until light brown and crisp creating a shell. Remove and repeat for the remaining 3 tortillas.
   
3. While preparing the crisp tortilla shells start browning the ground turkey and follow the taco seasoning package instructions; reserve warm.
   
4. Mix sour cream with mayo and a fresh squeeze of lime juice then season with salt, pepper and chili powder to create your own Chili-Lime Dressing.
   
   
5. Toss 1 cup of shredded iceberg lettuce with 1 tablespoon of chile–lime dressing. Place one cup of dressed lettuce into each shell. Top each salad with ¼ cup spicy taco seasoned turkey and 1 tablespoon chopped red tomatoes.
   






Final Comments


Serves: 4

Hints:

• Fresh grilled corn kernels, black beans and/or chopped fresh scallions would add flavor, color and texture to the dish.

• Use ground beef or chicken in place of the turkey.

• Canned tomatoes with chiles can be a fine substitute for the chopped tomatoes in this recipe.
