Ingredients

2 teaspoons ancho powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon Mexican oregano
6 ounces extra-lean ground turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 corn tortillas warmed on a grill
1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded lettuce
2 medium tomatoes, diced
1/2 cup salsa

Instructions

In a small bowl, stir together the ancho powder, cumin and Mexican oregano.

In a nonstick frying pan, add the ground turkey and onion. Cook over medium heat until the turkey is browned and onion is translucent. Drain well. Add the spices to the turkey mixture. Stir to mix evenly.

To serve, place a 1/4 cup of the turkey mixture in each tortilla. Top each with 1 tablespoon cheese, 1/4 of the diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup shredded lettuce and 2 tablespoons salsa. Fold in both sides of each tortilla up over the filling, and then roll to close. Serve immediately.

UCSF Researchers say products with added sugar should be controlled just like alcohol or tobacco. They are  advocating that the government take control of the situation because the citizens are unable to do so. The solutions they suggest include doubling the price of sodas via a sugar tax, put age restrictions on purchase of products containing added sugar and legislate which stores are allowed to sell products with added sugar.

Do you favor making sugar a government controlled substance like alcohol and tobacco?
