It's holiday time—which sometimes means that meals are hard to get organized. If you're having "one of those days," it's nice to have some never-fail foods that everyone will love.
Start with a crispy taco shell…
Fill with Salsa and:
- Shredded rotisserie chicken and sour cream
- Refried beans and Monterrey Jack cheese
- Seasoned ground beef and lettuce
- Black beans, corn and tomatoes
- Scrambled eggs and green chilis
- Shrimp and guacamole
- Mozzarella cheese and black olives
- Leftover steak and Barbecue sauce
- Fish sticks and tarter sauce
Turkey Burger Tacos
A Brookshire's Best Recipe
Turkey burgers are lighter in calories and fat than hamburgers!
Prep time: 25 minutes; cook time 20 minutes
Ingredients:
½ pound lean ground turkey
¼ cup minced onion
¼ cup minced bell pepper
¼ cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon ground cumin
8 taco shells
Directions:
Your favorite taco toppings: shredded lettuce and shredded cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes
In a bowl, combine the turkey, onion, pepper, crumbs, chili and cumin. Form the mixture into rolls about the size of a hot dog (they'll fit in a taco shell, so make them a bit flatter, and about that length).
Heat a nonstick skillet to medium high. Sautee the turkey burgers for about 4 minutes on both sides—until done, depending on the thickness of the meat.
Serve inside taco shells, with toppings of your choice.
Serves 8
