Morning lovelies! This morning I'm jumping on here to share a quick recipe with you all. If you follow me on instagram, then you know I have been on a HUGE freezer kick lately. I love stocking my freezers with goodies that make my week run A WHOLE LOT smoother. We have been busy lately. Between sports, dance, school...you get my drift...things have been crazy with a capital c... ain't nobody got time for that ;)
This taco meat is a saving grace. I whip up a big batch and then freeze it in 2 cup portions. I use this meat mixture in my tacos, burritos, enchiladas, Mexican casserole, and quesdillas. It's so yummy!!
Taco Meat Mixture
2 lbs ground turkey
2 yellow onions, chopped
1/2 cup taco seasoning (2 packets taco seasoning)
1/8 cup lime juice
2 tbl chopped cilantro
2 yellow onions, chopped
1/2 cup taco seasoning (2 packets taco seasoning)
1/8 cup lime juice
2 tbl chopped cilantro
Brown ground turkey and onions in a skillet. Do not drain liquid from pan. Next add taco seasoning, cilantro, and lime juice. Stir well.
*You may need to add a little bit of water, if your mixture is on the dry side.
This is such a simple recipe. I like to do mine in a double batch. I then freeze this in 2 cups portions to use on taco night. I freeze my baggies in large, labeled freezer bags.
Easy peasy right? :)

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through Pinterest.
I love this food picture - it looks so delicious.
This is the way we eat our our house, too - freezing meal size portions of meat ready to go. My husband buys meat on sale and grinds it with our KitchenAid meat attachment. We make our own sausage - and hamburger from steaks.
I am now following your blog.
Have a lovely Monday!
:) Hope
This is a great idea! I work 9 to 5 so by the time my son and I get home the prep time for meals can be exhausting on our nightly routine. This would be a great time saver when meal planning and doing a cooking day to work ahead.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to cook ahead and just pull it out when needed!

Yum! We always add black beans to our to make the meat go a little further.
ReplyDeleteI do this too. We use taco meat in a lot of things. Love it with turkey meat. My hubs said he wouldn't like it - but he doesn't have a clue! My recipe is almost exactly like yours minus cilantro - we neither like it.
ReplyDeleteLove reading your blog.
