Well somehow after 10 years of thinking I could happily eat tacos 3 meals a day every day, I have burned out just on Taco Tuesdays. So this Tuesday we had a Taco Tuesday remix: Greek Tacos! This recipe is modified from Mountain Mama Cooks. Let me just say: This. Tzaziki. Sauce. Is. Everything. Every last thing. All the things.
Sidenote: in making this I realized Greek and Mexican are basically the same thing but with cucumbers instead of peppers, lemon instead of lime, and tzaziki sauce instead of sour cream. What else can I substitute on Tuesdays to switch it up? Around the World: In Tacos, coming soon?
Servings: 5
Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 20 mins
For the Meat:
- 1 cup natural chicken broth ($.50)
- 1 lb ground turkey ($4.00)
- 1/2 red onion, sliced ($1.00)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
For the Greeko-de-Gallo (i.e. Greek salsa- get it, like Pico De Gallo but Greek)
- 2 medium cucumbers, diced ($2.00)
- 2 medium tomatoes, diced ($2.00)
- 1/2 red onion diced ($1.00)
- 2 Tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
- 1/2 lemon worth of lemon juice ($.50)
For the tzaziki sauce:
- 1 cup low fat Greek Yogurt ($1.00)
- 1/3 cup Feta Cheese ($1.50)
- 1 clove garlic, minced reeealllly tiny
- 1 teaspoon dill (you can use dried dill, I used fresh dill from the grocery store. This was kind of expensive, if I do this recipe on the reg I am investing in dried dill)
- 1/2 of a large cucumber minced reaallly tiny ($.50)
- Garlic powder to taste
Set this up buffet style and let people serve themselves. We ate these with Ezekiel tortillas which were amazing and clean- you can buy them freezer section at Whole Foods and I've occasionally found them in the freezer section at Giant too.
