Turkey and Black Bean Tacos w/ Refried Beans

Dinner Tonight: Turkey and Black Bean Tacos w/ Refried Beans





I'm back up to par today! My voice is back and full of energy. Well we've been lucky avoiding the heat and humidity for the most part this Summer but our luck has run out. High 80's to low 90's and very humid most of this week, thank goodness for air - conditioning. For dinner I prepared Turkey and Black Bean Tacos w/ Refried Beans.





I love Tacos! So versatile, you can put about anything you want in them and so many varieties of Taco Shells. For my Tacos I used Jennie - O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast, 120 calories and 0 carbs. My favorite Ground Turkey there is. I fried it in Canola Oil and seasoned it with Sea Salt, Ground Roasted Cumin, Cilantro Flakes, and 1 package of Old El Paso Low Sodium Taco Seasoning. As i added the Taco Seasoning Mix I also added 1 can of Bush's Low Sodium Black Beans, i drained and rinsed them before I added them. I've found Black Beans are a perfect pairing with Ground Turkey.





For my other toppings I used 1 can Green Giant Steam Crisp Super Sweet Yellow and White Whole Kernel Corn, 1 small can of Mario Sliced Black Olives, 1 small diced Tomato, Sargento 4 Cheese Mexican Shredded Reduced Fat Cheese, a bag of Dole Shredded Lettuce, and all in a Ortega Whole Grain Corn Taco Shells. Add it all up and you have yourself some down right delicious Tacos! I also heated up a can of Old El Paso Fat Free Refried Beans. For dessert later a bowl of Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunks.
