    I didn't have any taco seasoning on hand, so I made my own using a blend of chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano. It worked perfectly!

  • Dimitri Russel

    These were so easy to make and tasted amazing! My family loved them!

  • Zelma Davis

    I'm always looking for low-carb options, and this recipe is a winner. I added some black beans to the turkey mixture for extra fiber.
