Taco Trickery? Try the Turkey!

Taco Trickery? Never! We call it Taco MAGIC.

I’ve been following this beef taco recipe for several years — but we make a few simple changes:

First – use ground turkey! Trust me: beef masks the flavors of the spices, turkey lets them ring. Sure, sure sometimes a greasy beef taco is what you need. When you want really full taco flavor and to let the chili, cumin and garlic combo run: turkey is the answer.

Second – taste your chili powder. Supermarket chili powders vary a lot brand to brand. I tend to look for the international foods section and pick out some chili powder than comes in a bag instead of a bottle. For some reason I get spicier results from that buy.

Third – get high quality taco shells and fixins. I really like Bearitos taco shells and will always heat them in the oven before serving. The warm shell makes a big difference. Also fresh organic tomatoes and lettuce. You’re going to be eating this stuff raw on top of the taco, it should be great quality.

I really love the Turkey Tacos. Its an easy and tasty dinner to prepare that always leaves us (2 adults) with leftovers that heat up great into another meal.
