INGREDIENT NOTES:

GROUND BEEF:

  • It gives protein to the recipe and keeps the points low. This beef has a rich savory taste that works well with the bacon, cheese, pickles, and burger sauce. You may use extra-lean ground turkey as per your preference.

TURKEY BACON:

  • It gives the tacos a smoky and salty bacon flavor while keeping the recipe light. The bacon adds a classic loaded cheeseburger taste to the dish. You may skip the bacon as per your choice.

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

  • It gives a creamy melted topping and classic cheeseburger flavor to the tacos. Reduced-fat cheddar helps keep the calories and points low as well. You may use reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend as an alternative.

LETTUCE:

  • It adds freshness and a light crunchy texture to the tacos. Lettuce also provides volume without adding calories. You may use shredded romaine, cabbage, or spinach as a substitute.

BURGER SAUCE:

  • It gives a smooth and creamy topping that brings all the cheeseburger flavors together. You may use a mixture of nonfat Greek yogurt as another idea.

COOKING SPRAY:

  • Cooking spray helps the beef so it does not stick to the skillet. You may use a small amount of olive oil as an alternative.

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. First, coat the skillet with cooking spray and cook lean beef for almost eight minutes, then break it into pieces.
  2. Cook the garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, and black pepper in the beef, then strain out the additional liquid.
  3. Heat the tortillas in a pan as per package guidelines and cover them with a neat towel.
  4. Distribute the cooked beef uniformly among the eight tortillas and sprinkle some reduced-fat cheddar on the tacos.
  5. Include the shredded lettuce, pickles, and crumbled turkey bacon, then drizzle one tsp light burger sauce on the tacos.
