Ingredients
- 1⁄2 lb ground turkey breast
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 tsp. chili powder
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1⁄2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 1⁄3 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 Tbsp. mild green chilies, chopped
- 4 (8 inch) fat free tortillas, flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Spray a nonstick baking sheet with nonstick spray; set aside.
