Black Bean and Turkey Tacos w/ Refried Beans

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

Another cold start to the day , 11 degrees. Then another sunny afternoon and it actually got up to about 34 degrees! Still forecasting doom and gloom snow and Artic Air coming though. Took Mom's car in for a tune-up and new tires for her and then to Kroger had to pick up a bag of Shredded Lettuce for part of tonight's dinner and Mom wanted some Pork Chops for dinner tomorrow. For dinner tonight I prepared Black Bean and Turkey Tacos w/ Refried Beans.








I used Jennie - O Extra Lean Ground Turkey Breast. Love the Jennie -O Turkey Products, always fresh and low calorie and low carb. 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 had drained and rinsed them before I added them. Black Beans with Ground Turkey is a perfect pairing for Tacos, added flavor and protein. Mixed well until everything was coated and then simmered another 5 minutes until heated through.








For my other toppings I used 1 small can of Mario Sliced Black Olives, 1 can of Hunt's Stewed Tomatoes, Sargento 4 Cheese Mexican Shredded Reduced Fat Cheese, Dole Shredded Lettuce, Old El Paso Taco Sauce, and all in a Ortega Whole Grain Corn Taco Shells. Got to have the Ortega Whole Grain Corn Taco Shells, lower in carbs and calories than most other brands and seem to stay fresher than others also. I love Taco Nights! You can have so many different types of Tacos with so many different toppings, just endless options for dinner. For dessert tonight a bowl of Breyer Carb Smart Vanilla Ice Cream topped with some Smucker's Sugar Free Hot Fudge Topping!
