    Just mixed it all and ate it in a bowl. Less mess! LOL!

      But you’re missing out on the whole taco experience! Eating it in a bowl just ain’t the same.

      Haha, that’s a smart idea! Less mess means more tacos for me!

    Delicious! I added some black beans and corn to the mix, made it even better. Yum!

    1. 5 stars
      Sounds great! I never thought of adding black beans and corn. Definitely gonna try that next time. Thanks for sharing!

    The lime is a must! It really brings the flavors out, but, uh, where’s the taco sauce?

      Not sure why you’d want taco sauce when salsa is already in there. Just add more salsa if you’re missing flavor!

      I totally agree! The lime just lifts everything up! But taco sauce would be great too, maybe they forgot it?

    I followed the recipe but it turned out too spicy for my kids. Next time I’ll use less taco seasoning!

    Eh, not my favorite. The turkey was kinda dry even with the salsa. Probably won’t make again.

    I don’t see the point in using turkey. Beef is the way to go for tacos. But the recipe was ok.
