#1,761: Greek Tacos

These are a little different, but these were still really, really good.  I don't think the corn tortillas were a good option, but it may have been the brand I used.  I love corn tortillas but these completely fell apart and were hard to eat in "taco" form.  I also ate this (without the tortillas) served over some roasted cauliflower.  It was quite good...a little sweet, but good. I did not eat these with tzatziki sauce as suggested in the recipe below, but it would be really good on it! 

1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup chopped red onion
20 oz lean ground turkey (or ground beef or chicken)
Salt, to taste
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/4 + 2 Tbsp chicken broth
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried thyme 
1/2 tsp ground coriander
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

For serving
Flour tortillas, tzatziki sauce, chopped romaine lettuce, crumbled feta cheese, diced tomatoes, peeled and diced cucumbers, chopped red onion, fresh cilantro. 


Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add in red onion and saute 2 minutes then add turkey, season with salt to taste and cook, breaking up and stirring occasionally, until nearly cooked through. Then add garlic and continue to cook until turkey is cooked through. 

Stir in tomato sauce, chicken broth, oregano, thyme and coriander. Season with salt to taste. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally until sauce has reduced, about 6 - 8 minutes. Stir in lemon juice. 

Serve warm over tortillas with desired toppings listed.
