        i confess i cheat and get the taco seasoning mix, but it's definitely a crowd pleaser.

            I love tacos! :)
            I make my own fillings and would sometimes improvise with the sauces and dressings. This is something I could try soon.

              Oh my, I love that you used ground turkey. It is so much better for you. I love tacos in any size shape or form.
