Ingredients

1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp minced ginger
1 onion, chopped
500g lean ground beef (I use 93% lean)
1 tsp salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano
1/4 cup water (or any broth)
1/4 cup fat free Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
1/3 cup light mozzarella cheese
8 small tortillas (any kind)
brush/spray oil (to crisp when baking)
1 tomato, diced
1 red onion, diced
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 lime, squeeze
1/4 tsp salt and pepper
2 tbsp fat free Greek yogurt, plain
2 tbsp light mayo / miracle whip
2 tbsp any hot sauce (I use sriracha)
2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 lemon, squeezed
1 tsp honey (or any sweetener)
2 tbsp water
Pinch of salt

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat, then add minced ginger and chopped onion. Cook until the onion is transparent.
Add 500g of lean ground beef to the pan, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Season the beef with salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and oregano. Cook until the beef is fully browned.
Stir 1/4 cup of water (or broth) into the beef mixture and allow it to simmer for a minute.
Reduce heat and mix in the fat free Greek yogurt and light mozzarella cheese until well incorporated and the cheese is melted.
Spread the beef mixture evenly onto each small tortilla, then roll them tightly.
Place rolled tortillas on a baking tray. Brush or spray with oil to help them crisp up.
Bake until the tortillas are crispy and golden.
