Three Way Turkey Tacos

Most days, I only cook for three people - you would think we could all agree on a single meal.  Ummm yea ... no.  The three of us can't even agree on the best way to eat a taco.  I like lettuce wraps, Ben likes soft tacos and Courtney likes hard taco shells or taco meat with chips.  Anyone else out there feel like its an impossible task to cook one meal that makes everyone happy? 

I've got at least one meal for you that just might please your entire family.  My turkey tacos make all three of us happy.  Ben eats his turkey tacos in a soft tortilla shell. 

I get to have mine in lettuce cups.

And Courtney can have her tacos with crunchy multi grain chips. 

One dinner - three different ways.  It's a win - win -- win. 

Three Way Turkey Tacos

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound ground turkey
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• 1 cup frozen corn, defrosted
• 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, optional
• romaine lettuce leaves, multi grain tortilla chips, soft tortilla chips

Heat oil in skillet.  Brown turkey.

Add green chilies, salsa and taco seasoning.

Cook 3-5 minutes. 

Stir in beans, corn and cilantro.

Heat through.

Here is where you can get creative.  I like to just put the pan of taco meat on the table and let everyone fix their own taco exactly the way they like it. 

One meal.  Three happy eaters.  One happy momma.

Ciao!
