This Crunchy Turkey Taco Wrap was inspired by the infamous Crunchwrap Supreme® at Taco Bell.

The Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme® contains 530 calories.* Our perfectly-portioned Crunchy Turkey Taco Wrap clocks in at just 235 calories. What a weight loss win!

To make this crunchy creation, cook your ground turkey meat in a skillet at medium-high heat until it is fully cooked. Season the meat with cumin, garlic and chili powder. Assemble your taco wrap by laying a whole wheat tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon the taco meat into the center, then top with a crunchy tostada shell. Spread sour cream on the shell and top with lettuce, tomato and cheese. Fold your wrap by taking the bottom of the tortilla and folding the edge up to the center of the filling. Continue wrapping around the tortilla. Place your wrap in a skillet prepped with cooking spray. Cook it on medium heat for two to three minutes per side, or until it’s golden brown. Serve immediately with fresh salsa and cilantro.

One serving of this Crunchy Turkey Taco Wrap is 235 calories and count as one PowerFuel, one SmartCarb and two Extras on the Nutrisystem program. Feel free to pile on more non-starchy veggies if you would like to count it towards your daily vegetable servings. Onions, bell peppers and cilantro would perfect additions.
