Baked Turkey Tacos

September 7, 2022

Today, I am simplifying a beloved recipe for Taco Tuesday with Baked Turkey Tacos. This is one of my favorite dishes because it is one the whole family can help make! I always have the kids make the taco seasoning while the adults cook. Cooking as a family is such a great way to spend quality time together around the craziness of work and school. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

12 taco shells
1lb ground organic turkey
1 chopped onion
3 tbsp taco seasoning (see below)
3 garlic cloves peeled
2 tbsp olive oil
1 can organic black beans (or for kids who hate seeing beans in tacos, 1 can organic refried beans)
organic Mexican shredded cheese

Seasoning Ingredients:

1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin

1 Tsp cayenne pepper or ground pepper
