Black Bean and Turkey Tacos

Dinner Tonight: Black Bean and Turkey Tacos





Another perfect day outside, hope our streak continues! Moving sort of slow earlier today, stayed up late watching the Cincinnati Reds and Cardinals play a 16 inning ball game last night. Managed to go to the store and picked up a few items to make a Cheesecake for dessert tonight. For dinner it's one of my favorites, Black Bean and Turkey Tacos.





I used the leftover Jennie - O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast from last night when I made a Turkey Burger. 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 love pairing the Black Beans with Ground Turkey. Mixed well until everything was coated and then simmered another 5 minutes until heated through.





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. I love these Tacos! The crunch of the shells and all the different flavors and spices make a perfect Taco. For dessert later Cheesecake. See the Cheesecake posting for the recipe for the Cheesecake and Blackberry Sauce Topping.
