Tex-mex Chalupas With Quick, Easy Taco Filling Recipe

Ingredients

  • Chalupa shells (tostadas), crisp fried unfolded corn tortillas
  • Quick and Easy Taco Filling (recipe follows)

  • Chopped lettuce
  • Diced tomato
  • Pico de gallo or Salsa
  • Shredded Monterey Jack or Cheddar cheese
  • Sour cream, optional
  • Quick and Easy Taco Filling:
  • 1 pound ground dark turkey (Don’t use ground turkey breast. It’s too lean and dry. The flavor won’t be right, either.)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 small jalapeño chili, seeds and ribs removed, finely diced, optional
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons tomato catsup or tomato sauce
  • Salt to taste
