Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • corn tortillas
  • 2 diced tomatoes
  • ½ sliced purple onion
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon Mexican spice mix (you can find this at most major grocery stores)
  • cheese, salsa and sour cream

Directions:

Fry the turkey with the spice mix in a pan on a medium flame. (Tip: Fry your turkey on an outdoor grill to make clean-up a breeze). While the turkey is cooking dice the tomatoes and onions, and chop the cilantro. After the turkey is cooked through (no pink) drain the juice. Lay the tortillas right on top of the turkey and cover for two minutes to warm them. Remove the tortillas and place the turkey and other ingredients on top. So easy and delicious!

It’s true, cooking in an RV can be challenging, but with a few ingredients (and creativity) you’ll have no trouble at all. What are you waiting for? Get to cooking!
