Turkey Tacos Recipe is a Fiesta of Flavor
Taco night gets a tasty upgrade with with our quick turkey chili, fresh veggies and cheese
Taco Tuesday is my favorite weeknight. Tacos are flavorful, fun to eat and fast and easy. Instead of ordering out, I like to make my own and I’m always looking for new taco fillings to try. That’s how we came up with this turkey tacos recipe. It uses ground turkey instead of ground beef, which means it’s healthy and yet just as tasty. We cook it with taco seasoning, salsa and beans to make a quick chili. Then we stuff the taco shells with red cabbage for color and crunch, avocados for creaminess, fresh tomatoes and lots of cheese. For the finishing touch, sprinkle on some cilantro, add a squeeze of lime and dinner is served! These tacos are so delicious and satisfying that your crew will want every night to be taco night!
Best of all, this recipe is super simple to make. Watch our video to see what a breeze it is to put together. Then give it a try and let us know what you think.
