Tasty Turkey Tacos For Two

Tacos have always been my go-to meal for a quick and easy dinner....plus it's always a cheap solution for filling our bellies!
Because we have them so often, I'm always trying to think of new ideas to change things up.

These tacos taste so fresh there is no need for the guilt afterwards that comes with a full stomach, plus every ingredient is packed with tons of flavor!!

Remember, this recipe is for two, but can easily be doubled to feed a family!

Ingredients
3/4 lb. of ground lean turkey 
1/2 of a 15.25 oz. can of corn, drained 
1/2 of a 15.25 oz. can of black beans, rinsed 
10 oz. can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, drained 
1 Tbs. of chili powder 
1/2 tsp. of cumin
1/2 tsp. of dried oregano 
1/4 tsp. of garlic powder
1/2 of a small onion, diced 
Fresh cilantro 
Lime juice 
Grated parmesan cheese  
Flour tortillas 

In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey over medium heat until browned.
Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder to the browned turkey, and stir until all of the meat is equally coated. 
Stir in the corn, black beans, and diced tomatoes.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, and continue to cook for about 5-10 minutes over medium-low heat, or until completely heated through. 


Dice your onion, and lightly chop cilantro for the top of your tacos. 


To prepare tacos, spoon the turkey mixture onto the middle of the tortilla and top with onion, cilantro, cheese, and lime juice. 
For a lot of people raw onion might be too strong of a flavor. If this is you then add the onion to the ground turkey while cooking to still have the flavor without it being too strong.
I'm not sure why I chose parmesean cheese for this taco....but it tastes delicious, so I don't question it too much!!!
You probably could easily find smaller cans of both the corn and black beans instead of using half of the 15.25 oz. cans, but I always save the leftovers to use in other recipes later....they taste delicious with almost anything. 


Happy eating!!!
