Crispy Pepperoni Pizza Mini Tacos

Ingredients

• 8 Mini flour tortillas (street taco size)
• 1 lb Lean ground turkey (93% or 99% lean, cooked and seasoned)
• 1 cup Low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
• 24 Turkey pepperoni (sliced)
• 0.5 cup Marinara sauce (for dipping)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning (to season the meat)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground turkey until fully browned. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Lay the mini tortillas flat and place a portion of the cooked turkey and shredded mozzarella cheese on one half of each tortilla.

4. 4

   Fold the tortillas over to create a taco shape and press down slightly to keep them closed.

5. 5

   Place three slices of turkey pepperoni on the outside top of each folded taco, pressing them into the tortilla so they stick.

6. 6

   Place the tacos in the air fryer basket or on a baking sheet. Cook for 5-8 minutes until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted.

7. 7

   Serve the mini tacos hot with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
