Today’s Menu: Black Bean and Turkey Tacos w/ Refried Beans

 

 
Not to bad out this morning, in the low 20’s! A beautiful Winter’s Day out today, high around 31 and sunny all day. We just missed a good snow overnight though. We usually are the area that gets hit but this one went just south and east. They got 6″ or more in some areas. We’ll wait and see what happens with the next storm coming through Tuesday Night into Wednesday. I’ll have to stock up on some products this week, some nice sales going on at Meijer and Kroger this week. For dinner tonight I prepared Black Bean and Turkey Tacos, also adding some of my new favorite ingredients the Delallo Tri-Color Pepperazzi Spicy Sweet Peppers.

 

 

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, Sliced Pepperazi Spicy Sweet Peppers, 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 Del Monte No Sugar Added Peach Chunks Cup.
