Mexican Bowls

Ingredients:
1/2 medium green bell pepper (chopped) - I used 1 whole bell pepper
1/2 small onion (chopped) - I used 3 slices (round side) and chopped red onion
1 tablespoon water
1 slice whole wheat bread, crust thrown away, torn into small pieces - I used flat bread - its what i had on hand
1 tablespoon fat free milk
1lb ground turkey bread
2 tablespoons taco seasoning mix
1 tablespoon snipped parsley
1 teaspoon chili powder
cooking spray
8- 6" corn tortillas
2 tablespoons chunky salsa
1/4 cup low fat sharp cheddar cheese.



1) in a small microwaveable bowl stir together bell pepper, onion, and water. Cover with wax paper (i used a damp paper towel) microwave on 100% power for 4 minutes

2) preheat oven to 350*

3) put the bread pieces in i medium bowl. add the milk let stand for 3-4 minutes
4) cook turkey. drain fat


5) crumble turkey into the mixture. add the taco seasoning, parsley, chili powder, and bell pepper mixture. use a spoon to thoroughly combine.



6) lightly spray a jump muffin pan ( I used normal size). Cut your 8" tortillas about 2" 4x at equal intervals. say 12, 3, 6, 9 o'clock.

7) fold the tortilla like a flower, with overlaping flaps inside the muffin tins

this picture is a close up of the folded tortilla in the muffin tins.



8) Fill the cups with the pepper turkey mixture

9) Bake, covered with aluminum foil for 30 minutes. Transfer to cooling rack and let stand still covered for 5 minutes.

10) Take out and top with cheese and salsa.




that is a bad picture, but its the best I could do.

these little things are full of flavor and oh so yummy.

the husband and I ate them up. we broke them apart and used the petals as 'spoons' for the fillings.
