Taco Tuesday! One of my favorite days of the week. I’m a big taco lover and have been looking at ways to “clean” up my taco habit. Have you ever looked at the ingredients on the “taco” seasoning you buy at the store. Wow. I can’t pronounce half of them. We have been talking for a while about creating some pre-made spice mix recipes that can be made ahead of time and stored for quick use. Well, here we are – our first!

So I made tacos for the family tonight, with ground turkey and whole wheat tortillas. They were delicious and I felt great after eating them. I served them with homemade guacamole and diced tomatoes.

 Local Ingredient: Ground Turkey (purchased from the local farmers market).
