. TURKEY TACOS .
The best thing about the weekend is having a cosy night in with loved ones, cooking up a tasty feast and relaxing back with a full tum to watch a good film with a glass of vino. Or equally a tasty dinner with girlfriends followed by home made margarita’s and a full round of carnival dancing. Either way.
One of my favourite things to make for friends and family is turkey tacos, not only are they tasty and fun to eat, but they’re also very easy to make (AND on the healthy side).

HOW TO : HEALTHY TURKEY TACO MINCE
This bit’s easy. Simply chop up all your veg, fry them all off together, add the mince and seasoning and fry until browned. At this point add in your corn and tinned tomatos and let it bubble away until you’re ready to serve. Garnish with your coriander. While this is going on you can be making the guacamole .. an essential side.

HOW TO : FIERY GUACAMOLE
Again, another easy one to make … simply mash up your avocado, throw in some chopped up tomatoes, chilli and garnish with coriander and salt / pepper … you’re ready to go. Don’t forget to get some kettle chips for dipping :)

NEXT STEPS : PLATE UP
It’s always nice to have plenty of toppings to pile onto your tacos. We always have lettuce, grated cheese, guacamole, jalapeños and salsa .. but you can always add sour creme or whatever else you fancy. I treat taco night like a big game of Jenga … the more you can pile on and eat without it breaking and spilling the better!!

NEXT STEPS : DIG IN
The making of this is easy, the eating of this is messy, the fun of it is priceless (cheesy).
