What’s for dinner tomorrow night? These Quick and Hearty Turkey Tacos will be a hit for sure…The meat is sauteed with garlic, onion, add the right amount of sauce then top with crunchy slaw, dab of Queso fresco, and Serrano peppers for just the right amount of spice, and avocado. I made a quick cilantro lime rice that paired beautifully with the tacos….WOW, these really turned out delicious…Happy Almost Taco Tuesday!!!
