Turkey Taco Meat

This taco meat doesn’t require any store-bought seasoning packets but it is just as easy to make.  It is so juicy and flavorful that you can easily substitute ground turkey or chicken for a healthier option (and some people might not even notice a difference!).

I use this recipe as my guide when I need a meat for tacos, nachos, quesadillas, enchiladas or taco salads.  I typically don’t measure the ingredients but season it to taste each time depending on what I have in the kitchen.
