Easy Taco Night


My family loves tacos and they are so easy and fast to make that we have them often.  We never eat all the tortillas so for lunch we have leftover cheese and tortillas to make quesadillas with.  Throw on any leftover meat or veggies you have from other meals.  The girls love them, and I love that food isn't wasted.  I am a bit of a lazy taco maker and wasn't even sure this qualified as a real recipe.  But just in case anyone out there never makes them at home, look at how easy this is!  We usually serve with spanish rice or corn bread and corn.  If the avocados are ripe I'll make a side of avacados smashed with lime and fresh salsa too.

Ingredients
1-2 tablespoons taco seasoning
1-1.5 lbs ground turkey
1/2 - 1 cup tomato chopped
1 cup shredded lettuce
Sour Cream to taste
Hot Sauce to taste
Sharp Cheddar to taste
Multigrain Tortillas (Giant Eagle brand are actually quite tasty)

Recipe
  1. Chop tomatoes and shred lettuce
  2. Brown the Turkey over medium heat and Drain
  3. Return to heat and add Seasoning and 1/4 cup of water, mix until water has reduced a few minutes.  Remove from heat
  4. Heat tortillas according to package instructions
  5. Let everyone make their own taco to taste!  I like mine topped with meat, sour cream, cheese, hot sauce, lettuce and tomato.
