Brown the turkey in a skillet.
Once its mostly brown, add the veggies to saute.

    Sounds great! It's more healthy than ground beef but sounds just as tasty...I'll have to try this later in the week. Thanks!

    We make these once a week :) The killer is the sodium in the taco seasoning packet....but its worth the yummy taste!

    I make my own taco seasoning too. Very simple and less fat, sodium and preservatives then pre made store bought.

    equal parts of- depends on how spicy you want it
    oregano (Mexican oregano works better and is cheaper)
    cumin
    paprika
    chili powder

    2 tbs crushed garlic
    sea salt to taste.

    brown meat, when almost brown ,drain and add spices with some water to pan.

    Sounds good... can be even better

    Use a whole wheat tortillas instead of corn tortillas
    Use plain greek yogurt in place of sourcream

    Sounds super yummy though!
