OLE! I chose the wrong language.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Tex-Mex food. I also love Tex-Mex food during the summer. So what I am trying to say that my next few posts will most likely include Tex-Mex food. Let's get one thing straight from the beginning...this is not Mexican food. Mexican is different from Tex-Mex meaning that it's Americanized Mexican food. Mexican is not as seasoned as Tex-Mex food. That doesn't mean it's less flavorful it just means it's different spices and different cooking. Don't get me wrong...I love Mexican food but I love the spices and the fatties of the Tex-Mex food. I decided to make my own guacamole to got with my soft tacos.

Here are my ingredients:
1 pound of ground lean turkey
1 packet of low sodium taco seasoning
2 avocados, pitted, mashed
2 tomatoes, minced
Cilantro
Salt and pepper
Garlic, minced
Whole wheat tortillas

This is a no-brainer. You cook your turkey, you combine all the goods for your "guac" (it's not all the ingredients for regular guac). Finally, put all in the tortilla and BAM. You can eat all week with different toppings to add flavor. I actually saved the bell pepper for later when I created veggie tacos.

Yummmmmmmm.
