Turkey and Veggie Taco Filling

Turkey and Veggie Taco Filling

I am always trying to add more vegetables to my kids diets. You can easily add diced and sauteed vegetables to any taco meat. I use Wildtree taco seasoning, but you can use the brand of your choice.

Ingredients:

1 pound lean Turkey meat 93% lean

1 large carrot peeled and diced

1/2 sweet onion diced

1 cup cauliflower florets diced

1 bell pepper diced

zest of 1 lime

Directions:

  1. Spray two nonstick pans with olive oil spray.
  2. Brown turkey meat and drain in one pan.
  3. Sauté vegetables in the other pan while the turkey browns.
  4. Add the turkey to the vegetables. Add 1/2 cup water and 4-5 teaspoons of taco seasoning. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Serve on top of nachos or in a tortilla.
  6. I used a spinach wrap with spinach, taco filling, and topped it with fiesta avocado salad (see recipe in Sides/Salads. My kids prefer their taco meat over simple nachos (scoop tortillas with queso, pepperjack cheese, and shredded Mexican cheese).
