Sorry for the crummy camera pic.
Miss Hadley Joy, our new niece!
And we have another new nephew arriving soon too, yea!
So since we've been a little preoccupied, I was in need of a good crock pot dish ASAP today. I had some frozen ground turkey and instantly thought of a crock pot taco salad. Super easy and delish!
Easy Peasy Taco Salad
Whatcha Need:
1 package thawed lean ground turkey (my package served 4)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped red and green bell pepper
1/4 cup any other veggies of choice (I used a corn/celery combo)
1/3 cup black beans
1/4 cup Salsa or chalula sauce (I used a little of both)
Black pepper to taste
Lots of Cumin
Couple pinches of sea salt
sliced avocado
grape tomatoes (sliced).
What to do:
Throw everything in a crockpot and mix up. Cook on high for 2 hours then low for 1 hour or so. After this I added a little chicken broth and cooked it on low or warm until dinner time.
Pile up some greens on your plate, throw the mixture on top with some sliced up some avocado, grape tomato, and cheese (we use almond cheese) to garnish.
NOTE: To make it vegan, you can use tempeh or even a black and pinto bean mixture.

But wait....there's one more thing. We found these delicious chippers at the store and they were perfect for this salad. Beanitos are loaded with good fiber, protein, and are gluten free! Check out their website for more flavors. They Black Bean Beanitos had a killer flavor....we loved them. Crush a few and place on top of taco salad for the grand finale.
Anyone out there tried the Beanito Pinto flavor? Can't wait to try those too! What about some Taco Tuesday recipes? Do share!
Cheers,
