INGREDIENT NOTES:
WONTON WRAPPERS:
- This is the main component that holds the filling together. They make the perfect layers in the pan and become crispy. Include low-carb tortillas if you are not using wonton wrappers.
LEAN GROUND TURKEY:
- It provides low-fat and high protein to the recipe. Turkey absorbs the taco seasoning evenly and gives a juicy filling. You may use extra lean ground beef as an alternative.
TACO SEASONING:
- This seasoning gives a Mexican taste in the filling and makes the recipe more delicious. You may use homemade seasoning made with chili powder, paprika, salt, cumin, onion powder, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper.
REDUCED-FAT CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- It melts well and keeps the points low. You may use reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend, light mozzarella, or vegan shredded cheese as another option.
PLAIN NON-FAT GREEK YOGURT:
- This yogurt is the best substitute for sour cream. It includes extra protein and makes the cupcakes tasty. Vegam yogurt is a good substitute to include in this recipe.
COOKING SPRAY:
- It keeps the recipe lighter and gives less fat. Also, cooking spray helps the ingredients to cook better without sticking. Include avocado oil as an alternative instead.
