Ground Turkey Tacos

Happy New Year!  Let's start 2014 off right . . . with a good taco recipe.    

These tacos were meant to be our "healthy" night dinner.  Mine was healthy, but the pictures are of "The Mr.'s" tacos :)  Besides from the meat and bean mixture, he loaded his with guacamole, Mexican rice and Feta cheese.  I topped mine with only lettuce and tomato.  

Both versions were so good and if you choose to make them healthy like my version, I promise it won't taste healthy.  I didn't even miss the cheese, which was a shocker.  You could even go all out and eat these in a lettuce cup if you wanted.

"The Mr." loved his version too, but of course he did . . . just look at them.
