Mexican Bowls

  • 6

Ingredients

  • 1/2 green pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 small onion, chopped
  • 1 tbs water
  • 1 slice bread, crust discarded, turn into small pieces
  • 1 tbs milk
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 2 tbs taco seasoning mix
  • 1 tbs parsley
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Cooking spray
  • 6 6-inch corn tortillas
  • 2 tbs chunky salsa
  • 1/4 c shredded Cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In a small microwaveable bowl, stir together the green pepper, onion, and water. Cover with wax paper. Microwave on 100 percent power (high) for 4 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Put the bread pieces in a medium bowl. Add the milk. Let stand for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir. Crumble the turkey into the mixture. Add the taco seasoning, parsley, chili powder and bell pepper mixture. Using your hands or spoon, thoroughly combine.

Lightly spray a jumbo muffin pan with cooking spray. For each tortilla, cut 4 evenly spaced slashes, each about 2" long, from the edge toward the center. Fit the tortillas into the muffin cups, overlapping the cut parts like flower petals. Spoon in the turkey mixture.

Bake, covered with foil, for 30 minutes. Transfer to a cooking rack and let stand, still covered, for 5 minutes. Transfer to plates. Top each serving with salsa, then the cheese.
