Hello Taco lovers,
I love tacos and so does my family. It’s a great weeknight dinner option. I love creating new recipes and this one is with lean turkey meat. For a healthier option, I substituted beef for turkey meat. I succeeded in fooling my kids into eating healthier without them knowing it. Normally, turkey does have a fresh taste, my kids would know the difference right away, but by adding ingredients to season the meat properly helped to spice up the taco to perfection. Try it and comment below to let me know how they turned out.
