    1/2 small onion
    1 tablespoon water
    1 slice whole wheat bread, crust removed
    1 tablespoon skim milk
    1 lb ground turkey
    2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
    2 tablespoons mild taco seasoning mix
    1 teaspoon chili powder
    vegetable oil cooking spray

    Rinse and chop green pepper; peel and chop onion.
    In a small microwave-safe bowl, mix green pepper, onion and water; cover with wax paper and microwave for 4 minutes then let cool.

    Into a medium bowl, crumble bread into small pieces; add milk and let stand for 3 to 4 minutes; stir until blended.
    Crumble turkey into bread mixture; add parsley, taco seasoning, chili powder and cooked green pepper and onion; mix well.
    Spray muffin pan cups with vegetable spray.
    Using kitchen scissors, cut 4 slashes in each tortilla from the outer edge toward the center; place tortillas into muffin pan cups.
    Divide the turkey mixture evenly over the tortillas; cover with foil and place muffin pan in oven; bake for 30 minutes.
    Remove sombreros from muffin pan and place on plates; spoon 1 teaspoon of salsa on top of each sombrero and top with cheese.
