Two Taco Recipes

I could have made two posts out of these recipes, but decided that two separate posts about tacos may be overkill.  But you do know I love Mexican food!

In an effort to make even more of the yummy corn tortillas seen here I decided to make even more tacos.  Both recipes include the standard cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, etc.  But for variety, one recipe calls for ground turkey (I used ground turkey breast) and the other one uses meatless veggie crumbles.  However, let's get real - you can use ground beef (or ground turkey, or ground whatever) in either or both recipes!

For both recipes, I made Taco Seasoning I from Bill Echols' recipe on allrecipes.com.  If you haven't tried that recipe, I highly recommend it!  Otherwise, you can use a pre-made seasoning mix from the store.

Let's do the turkey tacos first, followed by the meatless crumbles.  Leave me a comment and let me know what your favorite tacos are!

Oh - does anyone have a good recipe for black beans?  If so, please share!  I love black beans, but every time I cook them they are so bland!  Please help me.
