Slow Cooker Tacos

   I made this recipe last night and everyone loved it.  (Well, 3 out of 4)  It has lots of flavor and it's healthy.    Yes, healthy and delicious!  Break out your crock pot and give it a try~


Beefy Tacos


1 pound ground turkey
1 yellow onion
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 can (16 oz.) refried beans (I used fat free)
1 jar (16 oz.) salsa
1 cup shredded sharp cheese
12 corn/flour tortillas
2 tomatoes, chopped
2 cups shredded lettuce
1/3 cup lowfat sour cream


In a large skillet over medium-high heat, stir beef and onion until brown and cooked through, about 6 min.  Add garlic, stir frequently.  Drain excess fat and transfer to crock pot.  Stir in refried beans, salsa, and cheese.  Cover and let simmer until mixture is cooked through and bubbling, 3-4 hours on high or 5-6 hours on low.  Stir and serve over warm tortillas; top with tomatoes, lettuce and a bit of sour cream.  Enjoy!


For dessert, try fresh raspberries over Activia brand Vanilla Yogurt.  It is divine.
