I’m a huge fan of keeping meals simple when I can. And tacos are a weekly given in my household, but sometimes I can simply do without all the carbs, or mess. These stupid-easy turkey taco bowls are a one-hit-wonder – perfect for parties, game day comfort food, a way to lay back on the carbs or a quick and easy meal night for the whole family.
And lately, instead of beef, we’ve been on the ground turkey kick. It’s leaner, healthier and tastes nearly the same as beef – win, win! Best part about the bowls – absolute ZERO limitations on toppings. Right, because you can only fit so much on a taco – sky’s the limit with taco bowls. Check out the recipe video just to see how easy and delicious it is.
