Ingredients

Taco Meat:

  • 2 Tablespoons Mild Tasting Oil (see notes below)
  • 1 Cup Onion Chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 2 Teaspoons Cumin
  • 2 Teaspoons Oregano
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Coriander
  • 1/2 Teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 1 Pound Ground Turkey
  • 8 Ounces Can of Tomato Sauce

  • 1 1/2 Teaspoons Golden Swerve or Lakanto (see sweetener notes below)
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper

Topping + Other:

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • If making your own parmesan crisps, do this first.
  • Heat veggie oil (2 tablespoons) over medium heat in a large skillet.
  • Once shimmering add chopped onion (1 cup) and saute until it begins to soften about 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir in the spices: chili powder (1 tablespoon), cumin (2 teaspoons), oregano (2 teaspoons), coriander (1/2 teaspoon), and garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon) and continually stir as they toast, until they become fragrant (about 30 seconds).
  • Add ground turkey (1 pound) to the skillet and break up the meat with the back of your spoon as it cooks. Cook until it's only slightly pink in the center, about 3 minutes.
  • Add tomato sauce (8 Ounces), vinegar (1 1/2 teaspoons), brown erythritol (1 1/2 teaspoons), and pepper (1/2 teaspoon) and cook until the sauce thickens and coats the meat -- about 4-6 minutes.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking (keep in mind, parmesan crisps are VERY salty, so if you find the meat under-salted that's good for most palates!).
  • Spoon taco meat over your parmesan crisps (see notes below*, you can do this in the snack sized bags of ParmCrisps like I did, a clear plastic cup, or even a mason jar/bowl if you don't need these to be disposable).
  • Sprinkle with toppings of choice, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Lakanto, Swerve, or Erythritol. I stick to Lakanto and Swerve which are a 1:1 swap with traditional sugar. If using a different brand of Erythritol, keep in mind it's 70% as sweet as sugar, so you may need to add more to taste. 
  • Mild Tasting Oil. You want an oil with a high smoke point and mild flavor -- think avocado, vegetable, safflower, sunflower, peanut. Skip EVOO, coconut, or sesame oil.
  • Parmesan crisps: I LOVE these delicious and convenient snack-size packs of parmesan crisps. They end up being $2 a pack if you buy them in bulk on Amazon. Alternatively, you can make your own parmesan crisps, just place them at the bottom of a clear plastic cup, and build your walking taco in there instead.
