1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2

Put the red onion slices and the crema into separate small bowls. Zest the limes into another small bowl. Halve the limes and squeeze the juice into a fourth small bowl.
3

Stir 1 teaspoon lime juice into the bowl with the crema. Add the remaining lime juice to the bowl with the red onions; stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and let sit at room temperature to pickle for at least 20 minutes.
4

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chayote and poblano pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until golden and tender, about 10 minutes.
5

Coat the tortillas on both sides with cooking spray. Arrange the tortillas on a large baking sheet.
6

Bake in the preheated oven until crisp and lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes.
7

Stir the lime zest, 1/2 the cilantro, onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the chayote-poblano mixture. Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
8

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the ground turkey; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 7 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup water, taco seasoning, and chili powder. Cook until the water has evaporated, about 4 minutes.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
