This was a winner at dinner last night.  The entire family enjoyed this one.  In phase 1 omit the tortillas.


Picadillo Soft Tacos

 
1/2 cup frozen chopped onion
2 teaspoons bottled minced garlic
12 ounces ground turkey breast
1 teaspoon chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
8 (6-inch) whole wheat tortillas
1/2 cup diced peeled avocado
2 tablespoons slivered almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, and turkey; cook for 4 minutes or until turkey is done, stirring to crumble. Stir in raisins, chile powder, cumin, salt, cinnamon, and tomatoes; simmer 6 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.


Warm tortillas according to package directions. Spoon about 2/3 cup turkey mixture onto each tortilla; top each tortilla with 1 tablespoon avocado, 1 1/2 teaspoons almonds, and 1 1/2 teaspoons cilantro; fold in half.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 tacos)
