Taco Tuesday! Clean Eating Tacos!!

I know today is Wednesday... but, this was our dinner last night for Taco Tuesday!!  It's a favorite in our house!  It's the one meal that I know everyone gladly chows down every single week without complaining!  It's quick and easy and it's a winner all around and we never want to miss it!

Healthy Taco Tuesday

So, this recipe has evolved over the years as our family has grown and they now eat a LOT more food!!  What used to be my 1 lb of ground turkey meat suddenly wasn't enough to feed the masses!  So, I've had to find different ways of increasing bulk but not sacrificing taste or healthiness!

What I started doing, which has worked wonderfully, is adding black beans and brown rice to my ground turkey and it still tastes the same but makes the meat go a lot further!  The amount you add of each is totally up to you, depending on how far you need for the meal to go!!

Directions
  • 1 lb ground turkey (browned)
  • cooked brown rice (optional - and the amount can vary, I used probably 3-4 cups cooked)
  • black beans (I use 2 cans drained)
  • 21 Day Fix Taco seasoning (to taste)

After the meat and rice are cooked, mix all the above ingredients together until heated.

Toppings:
  • Spinach or lettuce
  • Avocado
  • Cheese
  • Greek Yogurt mixed with lime (instead of sour cream)
  • Cilantro
21 Day Fix Approved Containers:

1 Red (ground turkey and greek yogurt combo)
2 Yellow (includes rice, beans and 2 corn tortillas)
1 Green (from tomatoes and spinach)
1 blue (1/2 from avocado, 1/2 from cheese)

  1. Julie, it look as if you serve your taco filling on some type of shell. What do you use?

    1. This is just a corn tortilla. It's just laying flat in that pic, but it's not a hard shell. :)
